Kennesaw instructor passes the test
Haberman recertified as Senior Professional in Human Resources

While teaching a class on Human Resources for the Continuing Education Department at Kennesaw State University last year, Michael Haberman tried to include topics necessary to successfully gain certification in the field of human resources.

One way to ensure that he was including all of the material was to have someone take the test. Then Haberman realized he had let his own certification lapse and decided to sit for the test himself. It’s not an easy test, only about 57 percent of those taking it passing the December 2001 examination.

Haberman, of east Cobb, a professional with over 22 years of experience in dealing with the challenges of Human Resources in the business environment, passed the test and received re-certifications as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR).

The certification, awarded by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI), signifies that Haberman possesses the theoretical knowledge and practical experience in human resource management necessary to demonstrate a mastery of the body of knowledge in the field.

“The test is both theoretical and practical in the areas of human resource management that I use with clients and teach students,” Haberman said.

Haberman is the Vice President and Partner of Omega HR Solutions, Inc., a consulting and services company offering complete human resources solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, including an Internet-based HR automation system.

Haberman uses his experience to help companies solve employee problems and deal with governmental compliance. Omega HR Solutions, Inc., a Marietta company, provides HR consultation and products to companies needing automation, payroll, group benefits and HR consultation.
