In May 2011, HR.com’s Institute for Human Resources (IHR) introduced the Leadership institute as part of the virtual certification program for more than 200,000 member HR professionals. The global social network allows members to drive the website content and facilitates HR experts to connect and share the latest industry trends and information. In one year, the Leadership institute has been the most popular program attracting more than 11,600 registrations in 86 online courses, all available in archive viewing mode free of charge at any time of day or night. The certification is a unique program in that it provides a specialized accreditation in a focused track of HR.
HR professionals are choosing the convenient and functional virtual learning method where they control their education. They have access to the latest learning technology, and the most up-to-date relevant webcast content, all from the comfort of their own favorite laptop location. Each webcast selected and viewed earns one IHR credit hour for a participant to count towards their certification. For the Leadership Certification, 80 hours of webcast credit courses are required for completion.
The next Leadership virtual event is open for registration and scheduled for July 12 and 13, 2012. A past popular webcast attracting the highest registration numbers was “STR8-TALK for Difficult Conversations: How to Communicate Feedback with Candor and Care” presented by Tina Smagala, Regional Director from RV Rhodes LLC.
“Never has leadership development in business been more valuable to the economy and the health of business. It is not only the focus of most CEO’s but it is essential to staying competitive in this rapidly changing world. HR.com’s online certification in the leadership track addresses this need covering new aspects of leadership for both the emerging and the established leader.”
Dr. Beverly Kaye, Founder and Co-CEO, Career Systems International
The certification and accreditation process for the Developing Organizational Leadership Capabilities program is developed and guided through an independent Advisory Board composed of industry experts for each domain with access to the latest technology, best practices and thought leaders in their respective spaces.
