New HRCI Ethics Requirement
Effective January 1, 2021, all certificants must fulfill one ethics credit as part of the total 45/60 recertification credits requirement. This requirement ensures our certificants remain aware of crucial ethical practices and behaviors in the workplace. There is NOT a specific “Ethics Credit” designation to select from when entering the activity. Simply include one ethics-themed activity in your recertification plan and check the required “ethics affirmation box” to submit your recertification application.
The chart below illustrates the updated ethics credit requirement for all HRCI certifications. Please note, this ethics credit is one of the UNCHANGED total number of recertification credits requirement: 45 for aPHR®/aPHRi™ and 60 for PHR®/PHRi™/SPHR®/SPHRi™/GPHR®/PHRca®.
More information can be found on HRCI’s certification portal.
