Excerpts
Read moreIntroduction Introduction Welcome to PHR Exam Prep! Whether this is the first Exam Prep book you've ever picked up, or whether you've used our test prep resources before, you'll find that this book will provide important information, critical insights, and valuable suggestions as you prepare to take the PHR examination. This introduction will explain the PHR (Professional in Human Resources) exam in a general sense and will explore all the ways this Exam Prep can help you as you prepare to take the test. It will also begin to give you an idea of the various topics we'll be exploring in greater detail in the book, as well information about how the book is structured. About the Test In many organizations, performing HR-related transactions well is important--but it may not be enough. Those who truly wish to succeed in the HR profession must master the HR body of knowledge and must be able to implement that knowledge in effective, meaningful, and appropriate ways. The PHR test is administered by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI), an affiliate of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). SHRM is one of the most--if not themost--preeminent professional organizations with which HR professionals can align themselves, and HRCI enjoys the full measure of respect that comes along with that association. Since 1976, HRCI has certified nearly 70,000 HR professionals through its various programs, and in so doing has contributed greatly to the advancement of the profession. Successfully completing the PHR exam and earning the certification that goes along with it will unequivocally affirm--for you, for your employer, and even for potential employers--that you possess the knowledge and can demonstrate the skills needed to perform as a competent HR generalist. It is an important part of what makes this profession a true profession, and it is a well-recognized, well-respected indication of achievement. By selecting this book, you have taken a first important step toward earning the distinction that accompanies a PHR designation. About This Book Most PHR test preparation materials on the market today don't separate test prep for the PHR exam from test prep for the SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) exam. We do. Why? Because the tests are different (see Chapter 1). It's our belief that since the PHR and SPHR tests are designed and constructed differently, your preparation should be different, as well. By tailoring your preparation specifically to what will be covered on the PHR exam, you have a better chance of focusing on those areas that matter most. We'll start the book off with a chapter that covers everything you need to know about the exam--how to apply for it, prepare for it, and what to expect before, during, and after the actual test. We'll also provide you with the information you'll need to determine whether you actually qualify to take the PHR exam, or whether you might want to consider taking the SPHR exam, instead. Chapter 2 will explore the underlying knowledge and principles of HR--important building blocks you'll need as you move into more specific disciplinary areas. You'll then devote a chapter to each of the functional areas covered in the PHR exam, specifically Strategic management Workforce planning and employment HR development Compensation and benefits Employee and labor relations Occupational health, safety, and security At the end of the book, we'll provide you with a complete practice PHR exam, as well as an answer key and explanations about why each choice was--or wasn't--the best possible response. Exam Prepbooks are aimed strictly at test preparation and review. They do not teach you everything you need to know about a topic. Instead, we'll present and dissect some of the types of questions and problems we've found that you're likely to encounter on a test. We've worked to bring together as much information as possible about the PHR exam--as well as lists of resources where you can get more information about a particular topic. Once you've read the book, you can brush up on a certain area by using the index or the table of contents to go straight to the topics and questions you want to reexamine. We've tried to use the headings and subheadings to provide outline information about each given topic. After you've taken the PHR we think you'll find this book useful as a tightly focused reference that you can use in your future studies as well. Chapter Formats Each Exam Prep chapter follows a regular structure, along with graphical cues about especially important or useful material. The structure of a typical chapter is as follows: Objectives List--Each chapter begins with a listing of the PHR objectives the chapter will cover. There will also be a short, descriptive paragraph that sheds some light on what is expected for that objective. Chapter Outline--Next you will find an outline of the chapter's topics complete with the page number of where that topic is found. This is a handy feature that can help you quickly locate the topics that interest you most. Study Strategies--This section offers you some helpful tips and hints as to how you can effectively study and interact with the chapter's content. Topical Coverage--After the opening items, each chapter covers the topics related to the chapter's subject. Exam Alerts--Throughout the topical coverage section, we highlight material most likely to appear on the exam by using a special Exam Alert layout that looks like this: Exam Alert -This is what an Exam Alert looks like. An Exam Alert stresses concepts, terms, or activities that will most likely appear in one or more exam questions. For that reason, we think any information found offset in Exam Alert format is worthy of unusual attentiveness on your part. Even if material isn't flagged as an Exam Alert, allthe content in this book is associated in some way with test-related material. What appears in the chapter content is critical knowledge. Notes--This book is an overall examination of the topics covered on the PHR. As such, we'll dip into many aspects of employee relations, understanding employment law, organization development, and so on. Where a body of knowledge is deeper than the scope of the book, we use notes to indicate areas of concern or specialty training. The following is an example of a note. Note -Passing the PHR exam will help you earn a valuable credential, but that alone won't make you a competent HR practitioner. Although you can try to memorize just the facts you need in order to pass the PHR exam, you'll be much better off spending time understanding the underlying concepts and relating topics to your own professional experiences. Tips--We provide tips that will help you to build a better foundation of knowledge or focus your attention on an important concept that will reappear later in the book. Tips provide a helpful way to remind you of the context surrounding a particular area of a topic under discussion. The following shows you what a tip looks like. Tip -This is what tips look like.
