Importance of Certification
Certificates and certifications, the names for these credentials sound confusingly similar. But there are important differences. Here’s what you need to know about these resume-enhancing options and how they might advance your career.
What is a Certificate?
Earning a certificate is about education. Certificates are academic credentials awarded by colleges, universities or other educational institutions. Students in certificate programs learn new knowledge in a specific subject or discipline and earn a certificate by successfully completing the coursework. An ideal student for a certificate program is someone who is willing to go through the experience of growing their own skillset, being real about what they want to learn, and working with others,
says Jennifer Diamond, an instructor for the UW Certificate in Project Management. Many certificate programs have few, if any, admission requirements, making them an excellent option if you want to move forward in your career. The programs are usually noncredit and take less time to complete than a degree. Certificates are commonly listed on resumes as education, and some meet education requirements for first-time or renewed certifications.
What is a Certification?
When you have the professional knowledge you need, a certification allows you to prove it. Certifications indicate mastery of skills or standards. Professional certifications are granted by industry groups or career-related organizations. These groups assess your qualifications, usually through an exam or application process. Many certifications include the privilege to use a related designation following your professional title. A certification differs from a license, which permits you to work in a certain profession and is usually issued by government or regulatory agencies.
Benefits of Certification
Certification helps in learning the new technologies, skills, and abilities for a specific promotion. Earning a new certification or an advanced certification in a particular area of expertise can help in advancing your career.
Professional certification shows consumers and potential employers that you are committed to your profession and are well-trained. It gives them confidence in your abilities and knowledge. Certification makes you more valuable to employers, so you can expect to earn more than someone without certification.
Certifications can give you the chance to learn needed skills, and be a quick way to show employers you have those skills. On the other hand, certifications can require studying or coursework, and cost up to several hundred dollars to take.
Skills for HR Professional
Personal characteristics can indicate how the candidate will approach the job and how he or she might relate to coworkers. Evaluate the following personal characteristics relative to the tasks and responsibilities you have listed for the job opening:
Analytical and creative abilities. A candidate’s abilities in these two areas determine how he or she assesses problems and comes up with new approaches to solving them.
Decision-making style. Decision-making style is very individual. Some people are extremely structured, analytical, and fact based; others rely more on intuition. Some make decisions quickly, while others ponder them for a long time. Some depend on consensus, while others seek their own counsel. It is critical to determine whether a particular style is required for success in the job and, if so, what it is.
Interpersonal skills. Since interpersonal skills and behavior are intimately connected, understanding a candidate’s interpersonal skills is an important part of the hiring decision process. To determine which interpersonal skills are most appropriate for a given position, think about the set of tasks that will be performed in the position. Which traits will translate into good performance, especially in view of the superiors, peers, and direct reports with whom the person will interact? For example, a controller should ideally be patient and formal, demonstrating careful, cautious, detail-oriented behavior. For a sales manager, high extroversion and low formality may be desirable.
Motivation. The candidate’s personal goals, interests, energy level, and job progression often demonstrate their level of motivation. So, ask yourself, "Does this job match the candidate’s personal aspirations? Would he or she do the job with enthusiasm and energy?
The Chartered HR Officer certification program focuses at the following skills and competencies.
HR Leadership
Organization Development
Talent Management
Portfolio Management
Performance Management

CHAPTER 1 HR LEADERSHIP
What is distinctive about HR leadership as opposed to any other form of leadership? At one level HR leaders are just like any other business leader. They are line managers with teams who deliver a service, directly or indirectly. However, HR leaders have a broader playing field, their arena is the organization as whole. Their time horizon is both the immediate and the medium term. Their products are the processes which add value to the sources of production and successful delivery to customers. Their raw materials are the people who create and deliver these services or products to companies. Their distinctive contribution is how they build their organization’s capability to deliver the business strategy in the short and medium terms.
Why HR leaders must think like a CEO, HR News, ETHRWorldHowever, more generally HR leaders appear to exercise more facilitative leadership styles. Bens argues that these are more appropriate in today’s workplaces since most have become more informal in recent years. Facilitative leaders have been increasingly sensitized to age group, gender and diversity issues. Many have worked on teams and have developed their meeting skills. These leaders are communicative and people-savvy. These more engaging leaders are still highly involved in directing tasks, but they combine this with an increased focus on both improving how work gets done and enhancing interpersonal relations. Facilitative leaders offer process and structure rather than direction and answers. They possess the ability to put a process around a challenging situation to help resolve a problem or create an opportunity for their business.
Leadership Functions
In common with other business leaders, HR leaders carry out the following generic categories of leadership functions:
Provide direction
Leading with courage
Influence others
Foster team work
Motivate others
Develop others
Champion change
Learn continuously
Providing Direction

They earn the respect of their colleagues by having the skill and confidence to contribute to the broader business agenda, not sticking within the comfort zone of the HR agenda.
