SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) Body of Competency and Knowledge

The SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge is a framework that outlines the essential skills, behaviors, and knowledge areas required for effective HR professionals. It helps define what HR practitioners need to succeed in managing talent, workforce strategies, legal compliance, and organizational development. Think of it as a guidebook that ensures HR workers have the capabilities to support their organizations’ goals, foster employee well-being, and adapt to changing workplace demands. This structured set of competencies helps HR professionals develop their expertise and ensures consistent, high-quality HR practices across organizations.
