A Guide to the Human Resource Body of Knowledge (HRBoK) — 1st Edition

What you’ll find inside

A Guide to the Human Resource Body of Knowledge (HRBoK) by Sandra M. Reed presents a structured reference to the knowledge areas used across human resource practice. The first-edition text brings together material for HR professionals and readers preparing for HRCI-related certification study. Its 2017 framework is especially useful when a learner wants to see how strategic, operational and compliance responsibilities connect across the HR function.

Six connected areas of HR practice

The book moves through business management and strategy, workforce planning and employment, human resource development, compensation and benefits, employee and labor relations, and risk management. Within those areas, the contents range from HR’s strategic role and recruitment planning to employee development, workplace relations, compliance, safety and risk controls. This organization makes the HRBoK useful as a reference for revisiting a domain, comparing responsibilities across a people-management role, or mapping study topics to a certification knowledge outline.

Reference material for study and review

Alongside the core chapters, the appendices provide practical reference sections on legal issues, certification pathways, Form I-9 questions, a sample affirmative-action plan, OSHA Form 300, HRCI ethical standards and terminology. These sections give readers a way to locate supporting material while studying broader HR concepts. The book is not a substitute for current legal advice or the latest certification handbook, and readers should confirm exam requirements and laws from their current official sources.
