Western Growers is excited to announce that HR professionals can now earn HR Certification Institute (HRCI) recertification credits through its professional development courses.

Western Growers University (WGU) and WG’s Legal Resources provide courses that cover essential topics, such as labor laws, workplace compliance, employment regulations and legal requirements specific to agricultural businesses. Course participants can now apply their credits toward maintaining and renewing HRCI certification.

HR professionals who earn HRCI certification need to renew and maintain it every three years through ongoing learning or professional development activities and courses.
