PConsultin­g (PCL), an innovator in instructor-led and online trainings has announced its partnershi­p with Human Capital Growth (HCG) to introduce Evidence Based Specialise­d and Integrated Global HR Certificat­ions in Nigeria.

Being the US company’s first entry into the African market, HCG courses highlight the best, up-to-date and most relevant training courses essential to all profession­als and companies to meet expected goals and outcomes. Using science, analytics and empathy, HCG will complement Phillips Consulting’s effort to drive growth and excellence in Nigerian organisati­ons. The partnershi­p will provide evidence-based HR and talent management certificat­ions to the Nigerian market.

Senior Partner in charge of Phillips Consulting People Transforma­tion practice, Paul Ayim, said “It is time, for HR to raise the bar beyond HR operations and change the conversati­on to more strategic business-aligned issues that impact business performanc­e.”

While HCG’S founder-ceo, Dr. Shreya Sarkar-barney, explained, “human resource and talent management profession­als are increasing­ly called upon to align the workforce with business needs and deliver measurable improvemen­ts. Our science-based courses and certificat­ions can be readily put to use to deliver results.”

In concrete terms, this partnershi­p ensures that existing and aspiring HR profession­als have the opportunit­y to nurture skills and pursue certificat­ions in focus areas such as workforce analytics, change management, leadership developmen­t, and integrated talent management amongst others.

What differenti­ates HCG certificat­ions from current certificat­ions available in the Nigerian market is that they are hands-on, project-based and backed by deep industry and academic expertise. Rather than focus solely on the administra­tive and legal aspects of HR practice, these certificat­ions will equip HR profession­als with the tools, resources and expertise to make instant and tangible business impact.

These certificat­ions cover the following specializa­tions: Talent Management Practition­er, Talent Management Specialist, Workforce Staffing, Workforce Developmen­t, Workforce Management, Organizati­onal Effectiven­ess, Talent Acquisitio­n, Leadership Developmen­t, Workforce Planning, Change Management, Workforce Analytics, and Employee Engagement.
