About this listen
This guide is intended to prepare eligible HR professionals to pass the PHR on their very first attempt. Whether you are, at heart, a self-learner, lack the time or means to spend on review classes or professional tutors, are looking for additional resources for your PHR test preparation class you have invested in or have taken the PHR exam before without success then this guidebook is for you!
This guide covers everything you need to get prepared and ACE the test.
Here is a chapter-by-chapter map of the content of this guide.
• Chapter 1: Provides additional detail about the PHR exam, eligibility, what to expect during testing and tips on how to study and prepare for the test.
• Chapter 2: Covers relevant business and management topics that are essential for an HR professional to know, including organizational structure, governance, regulations, risk management, corporate communications, professional and ethical standards for HR professionals, and data analysis and reporting.
• Chapter 3: Focuses on HR planning and recruitment, including federal laws and regulations, planning, labor markets, recruitment, assessment, orientation, and employee transition plans and techniques.
• Chapter 4: Provides key information on employee training, learning and development, from applicable laws and regulations to learning and development theories, along with practical aspects of designing and implementing training programs. Additionally, the chapter will address topics in organizational development and employee retention.
• Chapter 5: Covers employee compensation and total rewards, including compensation policies, salary structure, and benefits programs and how they work to help recruit talented applicants.
• Chapter 6: Provides key learnings on employee and labor relations, including relevant government regulations and topics specific to working within the context of collective bargaining.
• Chapter 7: Constitutional, Statutory, and Case Law and Human Resources. HR is fraught with legal implications, and HR-related law is constantly changing. When taking the PHR, you will be expected to be up to date on any changes relative to HR Law. In order to make relevant legal content easier to find, this section provides an overview of the most important constitutional rights, statutes and case law that impinge on HR functional areas.
Strategic Study Plan:
The PHR exam consists of 90 scored questions along with 25 pretest, unscored questions. These questions fall within five functional areas of the HR field. PHR exam weighting by functional area is as follows:
- HR and Business Management (20%)
- Talent Planning and Acquisition (16%)
- Learning and Development (10%)
- Total Rewards (15%)
- Employee and Labor Relations (39%)
Our book provides you with a step-by-step study plan, helping you make the most of your preparation time. With clear timelines and actionable strategies, you'll stay on track to success.
• Full-Length Practice Tests. Three full-length practice tests with answer keys and detailed answers with explanation.
Authored by HR Experts: Our guide is written by two very talented HR professionals who have not only passed the PHR exam but also have 31 years of combined extensive industry experience.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Terrible Format and poor editing
It's like no one edited this. You can tell that both takes were left in in some places because he repeats sections and some coughs were left in. The legal compliance chapter is actually a repeat of the union chapter. aside from that, this is just a terrible format for studying for the PHR. Where there's titles followed by a list of things, it sounds like gibberish. I do like the guy's voice though.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
