Syed Taha Amjad is spearheading the Learning and Culture arena at one of the largest conglomerate groups of Pakistan, Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited. In this role, he works closely with the top leadership across various group companies to advance the upskilling and reskilling of the workforce and inculcate the culture of curiosity and continuous learning. He has shared his experience and said that SHRM Certification has given me a broader understanding of HR and has significantly increased my HR specific knowledge and skillset. The most critical aspect for me was understanding and implementing the SHRM BoCK which describes the behavioral competencies and HR competencies which are much needed for effective job performance.

After attaining the title of SHMR-CP, people can trust you and do not have to look over your shoulder to make sure you are doing things right. The overall experience of SHRM-CP has systematically enriched my theoretical and practical knowledge in HR management. When developing one of my employee engagement initiatives, I found out that some of the recommended literature was extremely useful and it still continues to benefit me. The beauty and usefulness of this certification rests on the individual and on the extent to which one uses the opportunities it provides. These opportunities are countless – access to the resources, interaction with other participants via local chapter and membership benefits etc”. Studying for SHRM-CP was an invaluable  experience – it made it possible for me to apply theoretical knowledge into real-life situations and strengthen my self-confidence about various HR topics.”
