Roniel Y. Guzon, CHRP®, is a human resource professional whose journey into the field began unexpectedly in 2019, when he started as an HR administrative assistant at a real estate company primarily to gain experience and understand organizational operations. As he became immersed in daily HR functions—supporting recruitment and onboarding, managing performance processes, compensation and benefits, and addressing employee relations—he discovered how impactful the role could be in serving as a bridge between people and organizational goals.
Certification
Discovering CHRP Philippines
“I first came across CHRP while searching online for professional organizations that could help me grow and strengthen my professionalism in human resources. At that point in my career, I was eager to learn, improve, and connect with fellow HR practitioners. Discovering the CHRP website was unexpected, but it marked the beginning of a meaningful professional journey.”
Motivation to Pursue CHRP Certification
“What motivated me to pursue the CHRP certification was my early involvement as a training delegate. Through CHRP, I had the opportunity to meet HR professionals from various industries, exchange ideas, and learn from their real-world experiences. These interactions broadened my perspective and allowed me to understand HR in a more strategic and complex way.”
Mentorship and Community Support
“There wasn’t a single mentor who pushed me toward certification; rather, it was the collective learning, support, and sense of community within CHRP that inspired me to move forward.”
Career Goal at the Time
“At the time, my goal was to become a more credible and strategically driven HR professional.”
Milestone and Continuing Impact
“Earning the CHRP title gave me a strong sense of belonging and pride, and it remains one of the milestones I truly treasure in my HR career.”
“Now, as a CHRP member for two years, the knowledge, values, and professional network I gained through the organization continue to guide me in handling HR more strategically in the industry I serve today. Being part of CHRP is an experience I value deeply and one that continues to shape my growth as an HR professional.”
HR Philosophy and Reflection
“Having spent seven (7) years of my career in Human Resources, I look back with gratitude on a path that found me rather than one I carefully planned. What began as an opportunity to gain experience has evolved into a career I genuinely value. One lesson continues to guide my work: Human Resources is most effective when it is grounded in empathy, fairness, and consistency. When employees feel supported and empowered, organizations are better positioned to grow, perform, and succeed.”
Recommendation
“I would highly recommend the CHRP certification to aspiring HR practitioners who want to elevate their professionalism, broaden their perspective, and establish strong credibility in the field of Human resources. It is more than a certification, it is a transformative journey that empowers you to grow with confidence, connect with like-minded professionals, and create a lasting impact throughout your HR career.”
