How she first discovered the CHRP program
“I actually found out about CHRP from a former colleague in my previous company. She was also in HR, and I noticed it on her profile. I got curious, did some reading, and thought it looked interesting.”
What made her decide to pursue CHRP certification
“I just wanted to add more credibility to what I was already doing in HR. I’ve been handling HR tasks for a while, and I felt it was the right time to invest in myself and deepen my knowledge.”
How CHRP certification improved her career in HR
“Getting CHRP-certified really helped me see HR from a more strategic perspective. I already had hands-on experience, but the certification gave me a more structured understanding of best practices, legal standards, and how HR supports business goals. It helped me improve the way I lead and handle situations across different companies.”
Opportunities that opened after certification
“Yes, while I was already in my HR Manager role, earning the certification definitely boosted how others saw my qualifications. It gave me more credibility, especially when dealing with top management or handling compliance matters. I also noticed I was trusted more when it came to making people-related decisions.”
How the certification specifically helped her role
“CHRP helped strengthen my foundation in HR, especially in areas like labor compliance, employee discipline, and strategic planning. It gave structure to what I was already doing and helped me validate that my practices were aligned with current standards. It also helped me become more confident in leading HR across different companies.”
Would she recommend CHRP to others?
“Yes, absolutely. Especially for those who have experience but want to formalize and deepen their knowledge. CHRP gives you updated, practical frameworks you can apply right away. It also adds credibility when dealing with management, and helps you grow both personally and professionally.”
