HR.com's Institute for Human Resources Online Certification Program in Compensation Best Practices and Trends Celebrates One Year Anniversary

HR.com and the Institute for Human Resources (IHR) first launched the Certification Program for the Compensation community in HR through the delivery of virtual sessions in February 2011. This online certification program is a distinctive accreditation focusing on Compensation topics to allow HR professionals the opportunity to explore development that specializes in their own track of HR. They get certified while they work!

Since program launch, the Compensation Institute has offered 64 unique webcast sessions towards the 80 hour requirement for completion and granted more than 3,600 credits in total. After the next conference, there will be enough sessions for registrants to complete the 80 credit hour requirement for certification. The first Compensation program graduates will be celebrating soon!

Registration for the next virtual conference in the Compensation track is open and will be held March 19-20, 2012, followed by future events in June and September. Prior to that event, the webcast “Right Compensation Plan + Wrong Sales Talent = Declining Revenue Results” will be presented by Scott Hudson of the Chally Group on February 27th. Knowledge and practices that participants gain from these experienced faculty of HR thought leaders can be applied in their daily work projects and situations.
