Review: Great study guide for the SHRM-CP exam! - This was an outstanding book to read and study in preparation of the SHRM-CP exam. It covers everything - all of the topics you need to know for the exam. Especially critical are the appendixes and the glossary of terms, as well as the reference guide in the very back of the book. Mostly everything in the SHRM-CP exam are in this book. Read it, highlight it, and memorize the information as you will definitely be questioned on it! Pay special attention to the somewhat obscure passages as I was surprised how much of that was in the actual exam. This book, and the 1000 question book by Olamide Asekun, as well as the "SHRM-CP Exam SECRETS Study Guide", were the three things I used to sucessfully pass the SHRM-CP exam the first time! Good Luck and study hard! Review: Still Relevant - Don’t be intimidated by HRCI’s BOK page count. Half of the book is an appendix. It covers the four pillars of Human Resources: employment law, talent management, training and development, and total rewards: compensation and benefits. Whether you’re a student or industry professional seeking to brush up, I recommend pairing HRCI’s BoK in conjunction with World at Work’s Total Rewards Compensation and Benefits and The Best Practices Institute Talent Management. All books provide the necessary framework to tackle HR industry related challenges. World at Work explains the ins and outs of of engagement from a total rewards standpoint as well as the legal framework and BPI provides a historical context of what went wrong at other orgainzations surrounding talent management as well as what was done to correct it. I also read Kevin Sheridan’s Building a Magnetic Culture but felt some of the material surrounding generational work preferences was outdated. I did agree with one point though: Hire for attitude train for aptitude. We need people who enjoy their job and aren’t just “doing it for a pay check”. The material is still relevant. I just wish they’d update the body of knowlege in text format. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #147,258 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Human Resources (Books) #66 in Human Resources & Personnel Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 669 Reviews | ## Images ![A Guide to the Human Resource Body of Knowledge (HRBoK) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IxrCQj1NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great study guide for the SHRM-CP exam! *by A***R on July 15, 2018* This was an outstanding book to read and study in preparation of the SHRM-CP exam.
