The IHRM program is based on the SHRM BASK, the one single, comprehensive testing framework giving qualified professionals the recognition and flexibility to use their knowledge, skills and competencies anywhere their career takes them.
To develop the capacity of HR professionals, SHRM has conducted a program of research involving thousands of HR professionals to identify the critical competencies needed for success as an HR professional. This research led to the development of the SHRM Competency Model, which defines three clusters of key behavioral competencies and three domains of technical competency. The SHRM Competency Model provides HR professionals with a comprehensive roadmap for developing the capabilities they need to advance their careers and improve their effectiveness in the workplace.
