People Manager Qualification (PMQ)

    1 in 3 workers say their manager can’t lead a team. Culture matters. And managers play a vital role in workplace culture. In the virtual world of work, creating a strong, collaborative culture is more important than ever.


    The SHRM People Manager Qualification (PMQ) offers a virtual education platform with outstanding content and an active learning format to sharpen skills in communication, team leadership, performance management and situational judgment—the skills most in demand now. Emphasizing the three major skill areas all high-performing managers possess: Communication, Management Basics, and Performance Management, participants will learn how to:

    • Build and Lead a Team
    • Motivate and Engage Employees
    • Set and Track to Goals
    • Increase Your and Your Team’s Productivity
    • Enable a More Positive, Inclusive and Unified Workplace Culture
    Across three seasons and 30 “binge-worthy” episodes, participants will pick up dozens of practical, “real world” skills needed to be successful team leaders in today’s workplace. The complete learning experience is self-paced and takes between 10 and 13 hours to complete, including the final assessment. There will be a 12-month window to complete the PMQ learning experience, including the final assessment.

    Upon successfully completing the final assessment, the learner will earn his or her SHRM PMQ and will be provided with a digital badge and digital certificate of achievement. For those who are SHRM-certified, 16.5 PDCs will be awarded upon completion of the full program and will only be awarded once the final assessment is complete—pass or fail.

    Equally educational and entertaining, PMQ is an experience unlike any other. Invest, and your organization will be on the path to success!  Receive a $100 discount when you REGISTER with promo code:  PWSHRM
