As this is an important theme for all of us in HR, I thought I should share a few of my own ideas on it. Re-igniting an HR certification career is a big thread and has enough of a critical mass to demand a series of articles. While I’m planning them. I felt I should start off by thinking aloud and share some first thoughts here.
Thought 1: Irrespective of where we live and want to work. The investment of time and money in an HR certification perhaps will always be good.
Thought 2: If we want to work in a global organization or a large company in emerging nations. HR certifications seem to have become almost decisively important in the last 3-5 years.

HR certification
Thought 3: If we are in countries like India, Singapore, China and others in Asia, a TMP, STMP or a GTML certification from TMI should work best for us. Additionally, we can think of acquiring PHRi & SPHRi if we have 4-10 years of experience.
Thought 4: If we work in UK, Europe, GCC or other African countries, perhaps a CIPD certification should be combined with one of the Talent Management Certifications, depending on your career level.
Thought 5: If we are into HR or People Strategy consulting, we must ideally have all the above certifications besides of course, a good HR/Management degree.
Keep your thoughts and ideas coming on this. I’ll be happy to see them build the articles I’m planning.
