Business ethics is important in human resources in general, but specifically for PHR and SPHR certification, HRCI will be requiring business ethics as part of its recertification in 2021.
HRCI Adds Business Ethics Credit As Part of HR Recertification Requirements
From HRCI: Effective January 1, 2021, all certificants are required to fulfill one ethics credit during their three-year recertification cycle. This one ethics credit is included in the required 45/60 recertification credits requirement. Ethics is part of the core HR practices when managing daily employee interactions and organizational goals. This requirement ensures our certificants remain aware of crucial ethical practices and behaviors in the workplace.
