About 'prism career institute'|An email is worth a thousand denials








Whew!

I'm               one               half               of               the               way               through               my               plan               to               study               for               the               PHR               exam,               and               I               feel               pretty               darn               good!

Last               week               I               spent               an               HOUR               reading               each               night.

I               was               able               to               finish               the               chapter               in               the               PHR               study               guide               by               the               end               of               the               week.

I               had               a               very               busy               weekend,               so               I               did               my               best               to               finish               as               early               as               possible.

I               have               human               resources               on               the               brain               24/7.

I               am               starting               to               see               everything               through               an               HR               prism.

It               makes               life               interesting,               that's               for               sure!

This               is               week               six               of               twelve               in               my               PHR               study               journey.

If               you               have               not               read               the               other               portions               of               this               collection               of               articles,               they               can               be               found               here.
               A               New               Resource
               This               week,               I               didn't               really               find               a               new               place               to               find               more               information               on               taking               the               PHR               or               SPHR               exams.

However,               I               did               find               a               few               places               to               get               some               great               information               on               the               human               resources               profession               in               general.

I               found               and               joined               the               human               resources               networking               group               at               HR               Guru.
               HR               Guru               has               some               wonderful               articles               on               getting               a               job               in               human               resources,               and               the               10               Steps               to               Becoming               an               HR               Professional               guide               is               wonderful               if               you               are               trying               to               decide               if               human               resources               is               the               right               career               or               what               portion               of               the               field               would               most               interest               you.

I               joined               a               group               that               is               similar               to               a               support               group               for               those               studying               for               the               PHR               exam               and               the               SPHR               exam.
               I               look               forward               to               getting               some               human               resources               networking               contacts               out               of               the               site.

And               even               if               I               do               not,               I               will               still               read               the               articles               and               learn               what               I               can               from               other               professionals               in               the               human               resources               field.

I               look               forward               to               learning               about               becoming               a               functioning               member               of               the               human               resources               community               and               passing               the               PHR               certification               exam.
               Just               the               Facts,               Ma'am
               This               week               I               studied               Total               Rewards.

Total               Rewards               makes               up               about               16%               of               the               total               PHR               exam               weight.

In               the               Human               Resources               Certification               Institute               (HRCI)               PHR               practice               test,               I               scored               a               58%               on               this               section.
               According               to               the               PHR               study               guide,               the               Total               Rewards               section               of               the               PHR               exam               tests               the               human               resources               professional's               knowledge               of:
               1)               Applicable               federal,               state,               and               local               laws,               including               FLSA,               ERISA,               COBRA,               HIPAA,               FMLA,               FICA,               etc.
               2)               Total               Rewards               strategies               involving               compensation,               benefits,               wellness,               rewards,               bonuses,               recognition,               employee               assistance,               etc.
               3)               Job               evaluation               methods
               4)               Job               pricing               and               pay               structures
               5)               External               labor               markets               and               other               factors               uncovered               during               the               process               of               environmental               scanning
               6)               Merit,               incentive,               variable               and               other               pay               programs
               7)               Benefits               programs,               such               as               health,               retirement,               wellness,               EAP,               paid               leave,               etc.
               My               Take               on               the               Material
               I               have               always               had               an               interest               in               the               money               and               benefits               side               of               the               employment               equation.

(Most               of               us               do,               because               it's               our               paycheck!)               However,               being               interested               in               the               topic               is               a               world               apart               from               actually               having               to               administer               a               total               rewards               plan               in               the               workplace.

There               are               laws               covering               almost               about               every               imaginable               nuance               of               the               benefits               package,               and               just               thinking               about               all               of               them               makes               my               head               spin.
               When               I               was               taking               human               resources               classes               in               college,               I               learned               about               legislation               that               was               relevant               to               total               rewards               like               the               Davis-Bacon               Act               (requires               a               minimum               wage               for               federal               construction               workers),               the               Walsh-Healy               Act               (requires               a               minimum               wage               for               federal               suppliers               and               details               overtime               pay               requirements),               ERISA               (requires               employers               to               hold               retirement               savings               in               a               trust               separate               from               operating               funds),               and               so               much               more.

However,               the               human               resources               study               guide               showed               me               not               only               what               the               laws               mean,               but               why               the               laws               were               enacted.
               For               example,               the               PHR               study               guide               says               that               ERISA               was               legislated               to               protect               workers               from               losing               their               pensions               in               case               their               employer               went               out               of               business.

That               unfortunate               problem               affected               the               employees               of               the               Studebaker               company               back               in               the               1960's.

To               prevent               employees               from               losing               their               pensions,               the               law               was               created.

It               now               helps               employees               to               keep               their               pensions               even               if               they               lose               their               jobs.
               Being               able               to               see               the               origins               of               a               piece               of               legislation               helps               me               to               be               able               to               remember               the               purpose.

It's               easier               to               connect               something               in               my               memory               to               an               actual               event               instead               of               an               abstract               law.

Because               human               resources               deals               with               many               types               of               legislation,               I               have               to               often               make               those               connections.
               The               Upcoming               Time               Crunch
               I               am               a               little               ahead               of               schedule,               and               I'm               glad,               because               with               Christmas               coming               up,               I               will               be               very               busy.

I               think               that               instead               of               reading               all               of               the               relevant               chapters               from               my               human               resources               management               textbook,               I               will               probably               skim               the               chapters,               catch               the               high               points,               and               close               them               for               the               week.

I               have               several               practice               tests               for               each               chapter               that               I               would               like               to               catch               up               on.

It               is               easier               to               take               a               10               minute               practice               test               than               to               sit               and               study               for               an               hour.
               Now               that               I               am               halfway               through               my               human               resources               certification               exam               studies,               I               am               starting               to               see               the               light               at               the               end               of               the               tunnel.

I               can               beat               this               thing;               I've               just               got               to               keep               slogging               through!

I'll               be               back               next               week               with               week               7               of               my               PHR               study               guide,               Total               Rewards               (pt.

2               of               2).
               If               you               have               a               remark               or               question               about               human               resources               or               the               PHR               or               SPHR               exams,               feel               free               to               leave               a               comment               or               send               me               a               private               message.

I'd               love               the               feedback!
