Introduction to Conflict Resolution
In partnership with Mediation Services Winnipeg

Interacting with difficult people can lead to anxiety, irritability, defensiveness, anger, mood swings and feelings of helplessness in the workplace. Consequently, productivity and morale are compromised. Our workshop provides you with the crucial tools to transform conflict into a springboard for positive change at work and beyond.

Register today! Validation of Professional Experience Information Session - November 21 12pm-1pm click here OR November 22 5pm-6pm click here

CPHR Candidates should attend at least one information session prior to submitting their Validation of Professional Experience (VPE) application. The info session will review the application form in detail and answer your questions related to submitting your VPE. Get your questions answered in person by Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager.

The Validation of Professional Experience (VPE) requires candidates to demonstrate three or more years of professional experience in human resources within the last ten (10) years (the length of experience required depends on the path taken). 

The VPE requires Candidates to demonstrate experience at the professional level, which means that you must be using technical HR knowledge and have a level of autonomy in the application of your HR knowledge. Duties that are purely administrative requiring no HR knowledge are not considered.

For more details about the Validation of Professional Experience, please click here. Can't join us? Contact Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager by email at lori@cphrmb.ca or by phone at 204-943-3624.

 

What is a CPHR?

As a human resources (HR) professional, you are a leader in your field. Employers, colleagues and clients turn to you for strategic advice, clear guidance, and leadership on all aspects of HR. Make the most of your HR knowledge and experience, and get started on the path towards the Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation - the gold standard of HR professionals.

Granted provincially, CPHR Manitoba is the sole certifying body in Manitoba for the nationally recognized Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation.

How does a CPHR Desgination make a difference in your career?

The CPHR designation can enhance your career opportunities and compensation potential. It is recognized throughout Canada and can be transferred between all provinces and territories. 

An increasing number of organizations require or prefer that successful candidates for HR positions hold, or are working towards obtaining, the CPHR designation. This is particularly true for senior HR positions.

According to our national compensation survey in 2016, HR professionals with the CPHR designation in Manitoba earned an average of $87,000 vs. $68,000 for those without the CPHR designation.

Achieve HR Excellence. Become a CPHR.

Did you know there are alternate paths to becoming a CPHR including a non-degree path? Click here to learn more or contact Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager, by email at lori@cphrmb.ca, or call 204-943-3624.
