SHRM-CP® (HRM) Certification 2027, Master Strategic HR, People Analytics, Workforce Planning, Leadership, and SHRM-CP Competencies.
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence was used as a development aid in the making of this course, helping organize, refine, and strengthen parts of the learning experience under human direction. The timing could not be more relevant. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, based on more than 1,000 major employers representing over 14 million workers, reports that 39% of workers’ core skills are expected to change by 2030. It also projects that workforce transformation will affect 22% of today’s formal jobs through job creation and displacement.
That shift is exactly why modern HR professionals need more than administrative knowledge. Organizations increasingly expect HR to understand business strategy, use data, influence leaders, anticipate workforce needs, and guide people through change. SHRM’s 2026 Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge also expands the role of artificial intelligence across HR practice, reinforcing how quickly the profession is evolving.
This course is designed to help you build that broader capability. Across 7 sections and 42 focused lectures, you will explore Strategic HR Leadership, SHRM BASK competencies, Business Acumen, Talent Management, Workforce Planning, Employee Experience, Performance Management, People Analytics, HR Metrics, HR ROI, AI in HR, Change Management, Consulting Skills, Compensation, Wellbeing, and career development.
You will learn how to think like an HR Business Partner rather than simply process HR activities. You will examine how workforce decisions connect with productivity, retention, customer value, cost, risk, and organizational performance. You will also work with practical frameworks for stakeholder influence, executive communication, evidence-based decision making, workforce forecasting, succession planning, dashboards, and strategic recommendations.
The course concludes with a practical capstone in which you step into the role of a Strategic HR Director. You will diagnose workforce problems, analyze HR data, develop a workforce plan, recommend retention and learning initiatives, build an HR dashboard, calculate ROI, and present executive recommendations.
SHRM describes certified professionals as “recognized expert and leader in the HR field,” and its 2022 HR Careers Study reports that SHRM-certified professionals reported salaries 14%–15% higher than peers without the certification. Certification alone never guarantees career outcomes, but stronger strategic capability can help you communicate your value more clearly.
If you want to strengthen your SHRM-CP preparation while developing practical Strategic HR, People Analytics, HR Leadership, and Workforce Planning skills, this course gives you a structured path forward.
