  • You will be able to reason through Organization-domain problems involving HR structure, organizational effectiveness and development, workforce management, employee and labor relations, and HR technology.
  • You will be able to analyze Workplace-domain scenarios covering a global workforce, diversity-equity-and-inclusion, risk management, corporate social responsibility, and core U.S. employment law.
  • You will be able to apply the eight behavioral competencies across the Leadership, Interpersonal, and Business clusters to realistic workplace situations.
