Calendar of Events

Takes place from January 10, 2023 - January 12, 2023

CPHR Atlantic is pleased to partner with Roman 3 to provide this excellent workplace culture certificate program.

Do you find yourself...

…dealing with challenging organizational culture?

…wanting to make a difference, but not knowing how?

…struggling to get buy-in for change? 

Then the WCI certification is for you. This 3-day course will provide a clear path to creating change in your workplace and take the mystery away from deconstructing and championing actions that create a workplace culture that inspires psychological safety and job satisfaction.

By taking the course — and becoming WCI certified — you will have a clear understanding of how workplace cultures are built, and a series of tools that will assist you in investigating your organization’s risk, allowing you to create the business case for change.

Elevate your employee relations skills and learn how to become more strategic through our new member-exclusive event, HR Book Club.  HR is not just about HR: it is about the value that you bring to the organization and stakeholders.  Facilitated by Angela Champ, this one-hour workshop will show you how to approach employee relations cases and how to identify opportunities to bring value to others in your organization. 

There are four workshops in 2023; join us for 1 workshop or for all four.  Each workshop will examine different case studies from the book, "It Depends: Employee Relations Case Studies for Human Resources Professionals and Students."    Registration is free and exclusive to CPHR Atlantic  members; however, you must have a copy of the book to participate in the case studies, so be sure to buy or borrow your copy today!

CPHR Manitoba offers the CPHR NKE Preparation Course in partnership with Captus Press Inc.

This course is designed to help participants consolidate the knowledge they already have and - more importantly - identify where they need to focus additional studying in order to be successful in completing this multiple-choice assessment.

You Will:

• Acquire information about the NKE that will enhance your understanding of the exam format and testing process.
• Learn tips and tactics for writing multiple choice exams.
• Review study skills and strategies to determine your personal learning plan.
• Review the exam weighting to indicate knowledge gaps in each discipline area.
• Practice sample exam questions to evaluate your individual knowledge.
• Share learning with colleagues through discussion and participation in learning teams.

As a result, you will be able to:

• Assess your personal knowledge of each discipline area.
• Design a personal learning plan.
• Successfully write the exam with greater confidence.

Participants in our virtual prep course said the following upon completion of the course:

• They had a better understanding of how to approach writing a multiple choice exam 
  
• They had a better sense of their knowledge gaps and how to prepare for the exam 
• The manual would be a valuable study tool as they prepared for the exam 
• The sample exam questions included throughout the manual reinforced the materials covered in the course 
• The session recordings would be a valuable tool as they studied for the exam

Prep courses can be helpful refreshers of information and many writers who take a prep course perform better on the NKE; however, a prep course is not a replacement for an educational program in HR.

Summary:

How many of us have applied for a job in HR, and in the interview, we have been promised the sun and the moon and then once we are through the door, things look and feel very different?

What you will learn:

• Questions to ask in the interview process to determine that the job you applied for is the job you are walking into
• How to discuss with your manager that the job is not meting your expectations
• How to decide what to do next if you are getting nowhere with your boss

This program runs from August 23, 2023 - November 22, 2023

In this certificate program, attendees will learn a practical HR Business Partner framework, the development strategy to prepare for – and grow inside – the role, and the HRBP “Enabling Skillsets” that encompass the business partner’s day-to-day skills: coaching, facilitation and consulting methodologies; organizational design and development principles; and talent planning.

The Enabling Skillsets – communicating & collaborating, diagnosing & solutioning, and financial and business acumen – have remained constant throughout the evolution of the HRBP role. Business Partners must service-oriented and be willing and able to foster open and effective dialogue between themselves and their Line Manager, as well as all other stakeholders that impact their partner’s business. HRBPs must be willing and able to develop awareness of human capital barriers and opportunities, and engage their Line Manager with options to help them improve their business. To gain the trust of their line partners, and to inform the solutions offered, Business Partners must demonstrate an understanding of basic business and finance concepts.

Purpose

The purpose of the HR Business Partner certificate is to:

• Prepare HR Business Partners to be effective in their roles, by:
• Providing a framework and benchmark for effective business partnering
• Developing the attitudes, behaviours and skills of effective business partnering

Learning Objectives
