Are issues like these causing stress, conflict, confusion, time and money in the workplace? 

• Why does this client/co-worker constantly interrupt the conversation? Is he not interested in what I’m saying? 

• He never looks me in the eye. Clearly he does not respect me. 

Why this topic? 

Successful organizations understand that being able to communicate cross-culturally in the workplace leads to enhanced productivity, performance and employee engagement. Managing diversity drives profitability, leads to innovation and promotes an inspiring workplace culture.

1. Proven Expertise - By pursuing the CPHR designation, you will prove your ability to tackle all aspects of HR and demonstrate to employers and colleagues alike that you are a true HR expert. 

2. Continual Learning - To maintain your designation, you will be challenged to continually update your knowledge and skills in HR.

3. Demonstrated Commitment - By pursuing your CPHR, you highlight your long-term passion for the profession. You join the class of HR professionals that employers seek out.

4. Knowledge Community - As a CPHR, you are part of an exclusive, nationwide community of HR experts. Through special events, conferences, publications and websites, you can connect with other HR professionals across Canada.

5. Ethical Behaviour - CPHRs are held to the CPHR Manitoba Code of Ethics & Rules of Professional Conduct. You earn the confidence of your employer, colleagues and peers with the knowledge that you are committed to a Code that demands the highest standards for the profession.
