Congrats to Rhea Rossiter Koziatek, MHRM for passing the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) certification exam!

Kaizen Human Capital purchased and donated several learning systems to well-deserving Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies SHRM Chapter students who aspired to be SHRM certified.

Using both the learning system and instruction from professor Ifedapo Adeleye, Rhea put in the hard work and commitment to be the first in the cohort to pass the exam and earn a $300 gift certificate to cover the exam expenses.

Thanks to Kim Rudrud and the Holmes Corporation team for their support in obtaining the learning systems.
