Earn HRCI Credit for Survey Participation

The HR Certification Institute (HRCI) grants one leadership credit per year for participating in compensation or benefit surveys. The leadership category “recognizes the importance of giving back to the profession by contributing your professional knowledge to the community,” according to the HRCI website.

In order for survey participation to qualify, the HRCI requires that the survey be extensive, and excludes short online surveys. Announcements about qualifying surveys will be included in the invitation emails and reminders. To claim your HRCI credit for qualifying surveys, follow the directions in the confirmation email that is sent upon submitting your survey. The email also serves as proof of participation when applying. The HRCI allows one credit per year to be earned by survey participation, in each year of the three-year certification cycle.
