Together, HR and Leadership can breathe new life into any organization, so HRMAM is gathering people, ideas and tools that will infuse work life with freshness, value and meaning. 

Connecting to the pulse of business means tapping into people's real motivations: supporting cultures where great ideas thrive; creating experiences that customers love; and finding all the ways that 'soft' influences align with 'hard' performance indicators.

On October 29 & 30, HR professionals from around Manitoba will gather together at Connect 2014: Pulse to share information, learn new ideas and trends, network and be inspired.

The aim of this member only program is to help link established human resource professionals with students, emerging HR practitioners, and HR professionals looking to transition to a new field of interest, taking on a new capacity within their organizations, or interested in developing new skills for future career aspirations. These relationships enable the program participants and business leaders to exchange knowledge and experience relating to skill, culture and values. Participants gain valuable individual feedback and may observe companies and their leaders at work. Overall, relationships of trust, respect and appreciation are built to enhance our shared community. The HRMAM Professional Mentorship Program is committed to promoting professionalism and mutual benefit to both Mentor and Protégé.

2014 CHRP Competency Framework - As announced on August 11, the NKE will be updated to reflect the nine functional knowledge areas for the June 2015 exam and beyond. NKE preparation courses will be updated in early 2015 to help candidates prepare for the new NKE. Members can choose to write the current NKE (covering seven functional knowledge areas) in November 2014 or write the updated NKE in June 2015 and beyond.The registration deadline for the November NKE is September 2, 2014.

How different will the updated NKE, administered in June 2015 and beyond, be from the final offering of the current NKE administered in November 2014? The number of questions on the NKE will remain the same. The level of difficulty will be the same. In the current NKE, some of the seven functional knowledge areas count or "weigh" more than others. The updated NKE will weigh each of the nine functional knowledge areas equally. The current NKE does have some questions that test the two new functional knowledge areas, organized under current knowledge areas. The updated NKE will test some additional competencies in the two new functional knowledge areas.

 

 

The CHRP Validation of Professional Experience Assessment is a formal step in earning the CHRP designation that requires candidates to demonstrate three or more years of professional experience in human resources within the last ten years. 

To gain your CHRP designation through the assessment experience, CHRP Candidates will be required to submit a completed application. This application will need to be validated by your current employer. In order to be eligible to submit an application you need to be a Candidate (someone who has passed the NKE) and have had your proof of degree verified.

The next submission deadline is September 15.

One of the latest trends in employee compensation and motivation is giving employees four (small) raises a year as opposed to one large raise. Many companies have become strong proponents of this innovative payment strategy and executives are dumping the annual salary review in favor of giving out raises and bonuses a couple times per year.
