25 of the questions on your HRCI exam are pretest items. They are new questions being trialled for future exams, and they do not affect your score at all. You will not know which ones they are, so answer everything as if it counts.

Two more things worth knowing: pace yourself against 140 questions, not 115, and remember the 30 minutes of check-in and setup happens outside your exam clock. Block three and a half hours, not two and three quarters.

Then someone resigns over a hospital bill their old employer would have covered.

The reality: well-designed benefits out-retain cash.

👉 Family health cover protects what people fear losing most

👉 Education support builds futures salaries can't

👉 Flexibility gives back the one thing money can't buy

A 5,000-taka benefit can hold someone a 50,000-taka raise cannot — because benefits create belonging, and cash creates comparison.

Count the value, not just the cost.

🎓 Designing benefits that actually retain is core CTRP™ territory — the ASEAN region's Total Rewards certification, in Bangladesh exclusively through FocusOn™ Global Limited: focuson-global.com/ctrp

The brief called for someone who had carried an HR function alone. Prianka has done that in four sectors. Aramex in logistics, Digicon in BPO, World Vision in development, RAK Ceramics in manufacturing.

Congratulations Prianka. Our thanks to the client for the mandate.

A multinational apparel manufacturer operating from Chattogram EPZ is building out its performance and talent function, and is looking for one person to own it end to end.

This is not a generalist HR seat. The role sits at the centre of the performance management cycle: KPI architecture, appraisal cycles, target and weightage analytics, and the talent and learning agenda that follows from them. You will report into and work closely with the Head of Leadership.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐰𝐧
- The full Performance Management System cycle, from objective setting to final appraisal
- KPI development, review, and monitoring across every department
- Target setting, weightage management, and KPI distribution analytics
- Succession planning, talent reviews, and employee development programmes
- Learning and development calendar, training delivery, and capability building
- Employee engagement and wellness initiatives across the organisation
- HR reports, dashboards, and presentations for management decision making

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration, or a related discipline
- 7 to 8 years of experience, with proven exposure to performance management, KPI management, talent management, and L&D
- Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. This is a data heavy role and the analytics are not optional
- Strong business English, written and spoken, with the confidence to present to senior stakeholders
- Practical stakeholder coordination skills and a solution first approach

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫
- Monthly gross of BDT 100,000, negotiable either way based on experience and fit
- Company benefits as per organisational policy
- A defined mandate with visible senior sponsorship, in a group actively investing in its people systems

Experience tells you what you did. A standard tells you what it was worth.

Didarul Islam Riad, PHRi™, took the exam not to learn HR but to test whether years of doing the work would hold up against the global standard. His verdict is on the card.

Would your experience hold up? Visit www.focuson-global.com to learn more.

𝟓 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧:

1️⃣ New hires out-earn top performers — the market moved, your structure didn't
2️⃣ Every salary is a fresh negotiation — no ranges, no logic, just bargaining power
3️⃣ Same job, wildly different pay — internal equity quietly bleeding trust
4️⃣ Increments add % to old mistakes — compounding errors, year after year
5️⃣ Nobody can explain the pay logic — so employees invent their own explanation

If you nodded at 2 or more… your structure isn't paying people. It's accumulating debt the kind that gets collected in resignation letters.

The fix is a discipline: job evaluation, pay ranges, market anchoring, equity audits. All learnable.

🎓 That discipline is the CTRP™ — the ASEAN region's Total Rewards certification, exclusively in Bangladesh through FocusOn™ Global Limited.

Mostly leadership!

Leadership and strategy alone is 33% of the SPHRi exam. Add talent management at 23% and you have more than half the exam sitting above day-to-day HR operations. This is a credential for people who shape decisions.
