Completely revised and enhanced for the new 2007 exams, this book enables you to validate your experience and skills as an HR professional with the industry-standard PHR (Professional in Human Resources) or SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) certifications from the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). This comprehensive new edition of the top-selling PHR/SPHR Study Guide provides you expert preparation and review for these challenging exams as well as comprehensive coverage on labor relations, workforce planning, compensation, OSHA regulations.
It's a great study guide! I advise it to everyone who prepares for the PHR exam. However, it's best to combine it with a couple of other books of the same context for better results. I wish only the paper quality would be better but that's what you get for an affordable price!
As a former HR games team member, I have watched the SMSU HR team do quite well over the years and while I know we do not typically buy study guides, I feel this is a resource we cannot be without as our team advances and interest in the program grows. NP
I passed my SPHR exam, so I guess it was a good book! :) Honestly, it was well organized and easy to read. I also liked the online tools that come with your purchase of the book - flash cards were helpful.
I passed my PHR certification using only this book to prepare. I bought it on Amazon. You do NOT need $2k worth of SHRM training materials and books to pass the test.
