Badges are digital tokens that appear as icons on a web page, social media platform, or other online venues. Awarded by institutions, organizations, or groups, badges signify accomplishments such as certification, mastery of a skill, or marks of experience. A digital badge is a way to organize and share your verified credentials digitally. This allows you to easily share your credentials, and employers and colleagues to easily verify them.

• Each badge is embedded with evidence of where, when, how, and why it was earned, which allows SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP digital badges to serve as 100% authenticated digital certificates that earners can easily share on social networks, resumes and e-mail signatures.
• Post your digital badge anywhere! It may be embedded in virtual media, like LinkedIn, e-mail signatures, or other social media profiles.
• Once shared, your digital badge can be clicked, revealing data which validates your achievement.
• It can be reviewed by employers, licensing boards, and colleagues.

Because most industries evolve so quickly, it is vital that professionals continually hone their skills in order to stay competitive. You’ve demonstrated this mastery by earning your SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP!

• Your free SHRM certification digital badge provides a way for you to effectively convey your verified knowledge and expertise to employers, colleagues and recruiters—upon completion of certification and recertification programs.
• Traditional forms of professional recognition, namely paper certificates, are no longer the best way to communicate the nature of earned credentials, nor can they be readily verified or shared online.
• Digital credentials, often called badges, act as a means to reliably recognize professional achievements such as certifications and continuing education experiences.
• A digital badge allows earners to have 24/7 access to a verifiable and current record of their accomplishment that they can share with whomever they choose on social networks, resumes, e-mail signatures and websites.

When you are sent the e-mail granting you your digital badge, it will include a personal URL. You can send this URL to anyone you would like to be able to view or verify your credential.
