Wait, HR has the bar that you can be disbarred from? Thanks for expanding my horizons, I had no idea.

Its not like a PE or CENG but senior HR jobs often have CIPD qualified as a requirement. At the Director level you can be disbarred.

The CIPD is in the UK. The closest thing in the US is SHRM, which has the PHR/SPHR designations -- which are indeed often a requirement for senior HR positions (though I don't know that those designations have ever actually been revoked.)

[walshemj]

should be if HR is to live up to it's pretensions about being a "profession".
