Why should I enroll in this Compensation & Benefits Certification Program?

The right Comp & Ben strategy has always been essential in attracting and retaining the talent your organization needs to win in the market. As companies face major talent shortages and new challenges such as the rise of remote work, C&B is only becoming more important.

In light of this, ambitious and strategic HR professionals need to be able to understand and speak the language of Compensation and Benefits. Only then will they be able to truly understand the challenges and opportunities within this area of expertise, and the way that it can impact the HR organization and company as a whole.

This course is also a good fit for HR professionals working in Comp & Ben at smaller organizations who wish to learn more about the field, or individual contributors or managers who want to set up or professionalize their Compensation and Benefits department.

Why can't I enroll in this C&B course right now?

AIHR's online Certificate Programs open periodically, usually once a month. You can wait for enrollment to open again, or get Full Academy Access, which is available year-round. Full Academy Access grants you access not only to the Comp & Ben courses, but our entire catalogue of online HR education. This includes Certificate Programs that will help you further improve your C&B expertise, such as People Analytics and HR Manager.
