The Strategic Workforce Planning Certification Program will help you forecast and plan the workforce your organization will need to succeed in the future. Skill gaps or shortages. Turnover. An aging workforce. Changing business models. Managing talent risks and expenses. The complexity and urgency of these issues make it feel impossible to plan more than a few months out.

You need a way to develop and implement a workforce plan that is agile and dynamic enough to help your organization thrive in today’s environment—while at the same time establishing yourself as a strategic partner to the business.

HCI’s model takes workforce planning out of the theoretical realm and gives you a methodology and set of tools that you can implement right away—beginning in class.

HR professionals and leaders understand the importance of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and strive to continuously improve it in their organizations, but many are uncertain about where to get started or how to fully embed it in their talent management practices.
Over the past several years, HCI has examined the practices of high-performing organizations to understand how they are cultivating and measuring diversity equity, inclusion and belonging, and we've used that research to develop our newest certification program.

Build the talent and leadership pipeline your organization needs for sustainable future growth
Succession planning is an objective, intentional, and systematic effort to ensure leadership continuity by identifying and developing current and future leaders who will lead and execute the organization's strategic priorities. In other words, it helps current leaders and HR stakeholders answer these two critical questions: Who should lead? And when?
We also believe that building a strong leadership pipeline requires talent that is nurtured and developed at all levels and in alignment with an organization's business strategy. This is the best way to ensure individual readiness and support future growth.
The NEW Succession Planning & Talent Development Certification Program is designed to help you align your organization's succession planning and talent development efforts with your business strategy by using a practical but compelling framework to guide your team's efforts.

Drive engagement and performance by creating a coaching culture throughout your organization.
Your organization needs managers and leaders who use coaching skills to empower employees to achieve goals. But does it give those managers and leaders the tools and knowledge to coach effectively? Does it hold them accountable for the impact coaching has on teams and the business?
The Coaching for Engagement & Performance Certification Program is not about how to coach. Instead, it gives you a scalable, actionable framework to build coaching skills and abilities into the fabric of your organization, transforming the manager-employee relationship, and driving measurable business results.
The business impact is real. Research has shown that year over year, organizations that effectively leverage coaching realize higher revenue growth than peer companies that don’t embrace coaching. By equipping employees with the tools and knowledge to respond, problem-solve, and adapt in real-time, managers and leaders realize tangible benefits such as improved team functioning, increased engagement, faster leadership development, and increased productivity.
