Advance Your Career with WorldatWork Professional Development
"Over the last two and a half years I have been able to obtain my three WorldatWork professional certifications while managing a heavy work schedule. The knowledge that I have gained has equipped me to make better strategic decisions and implement practical solutions to complex problems. Due to certification I now have a broader knowledge of HR areas that I would have not gotten in my normal day-to-day work. WorldatWork has established itself as a valuable resource to total rewards professionals around the world."
Daryl Bennett, CCP, CBP, GRP, SPHR

"I joined the WorldatWork in the mid '80s when I took on responsibility for compensation and benefits. I knew that I needed to get up to speed fast, and found the CCP certification to be the only program to do that. Since then, I have moved on to two other positions; my CCP was the definite edge in both. Truly, I would not be where I am today without my investment in professional certification with WorldatWork."
Robert C. Roesch, CCP, SPHR
Director Human Resources
UCAR
Member since 1986
"I began my Human Resources career in 1988 as a Technical Recruiter within Employee Relations. In 1991 my department eliminated my position and gave me a choice of being laid off or becoming a compensation specialist. I chose compensation. Not knowing anything about the field I turned to WorldatWork for education, training and becoming certified as a CCP. The certification opened tremendous career growth and potential for me over the last 15 years. In 2002 I was offered another opportunity to manage the benefits area of Human Resources, and I again turned to WorldatWork for certification as a CBP. These designations as well as the practical knowledge of the coursework and the networking of other compensation and benefit professionals who are members of WorldatWork are invaluable.
With this strong foundation behind me, I am now an Assistant Vice President responsible for Compensation, Benefits and Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS). I truly believe the certification and professional skills I have acquired through WorldatWork have opened the doors to the executive suite for me."

"I can truly say that participation in the WorldatWork certification process had a very significant and very positive effect on my professional development and the work I have done as a Human Resource professional and consultant, now for almost 30 years. I learned the fundamentals of our discipline and I learned how to apply my new skills and knowledge when working with line management. I would say that certification is the 'price of admission' for the compensation and benefits professional today. Not only is professional knowledge enhanced but important skills are developed in applying what is taught."

"CCP certification is practically a necessity to advance in the compensation field. It is immediately recognizable as the premier designation to have. It brings another level of respect among those in the industry. Since it takes a high level of dedication to complete all of the requirements, it shows true commitment to personal advancement and to the profession. It is a great way to obtain and maintain the most up-to-date industry practices by having access to resources and faculty who are leaders in their profession."
Luke J. Malloy, CCP

"My 25 years in Human Resources has been mirrored by my equally long membership with the now WorldatWork organization. The early part of my career was strongly impacted and shaped by my involvement in the CCP certification program. The courses and teachers expanded my understanding of the compensation field and helped clarify the role I needed to play as a practitioner. Over the course of a couple of years, I received my CCP certification, and was promoted to Manager of Compensation and Benefits.
As a result of my commitment to continuous learning and development, I have my CCP, CBP and GRP certifications. I have continued to take on positions of greater breadth and responsibility, and my peers look at me as a go-to person when they have compensation and benefits questions and issues. The education that I received from the WorldatWork cannot be duplicated anywhere, and I believe that I would not have gone as far professionally without the education the WorldatWork has provided me.
I continue taking WorldatWork courses, not only to maintain my certifications, but to continue learning and growing, because the compensation and benefits profession is in no way static. I also encourage those compensation and benefits professionals working for me to attend the WorldatWork programs and to get certified. By doing this, I am passing on something that is valuable to their future career success and I am helping to grow a new generation of high performing compensation and benefits professionals."

"WorldatWork membership has been extremely valuable to me in my 10+ years as an HR professional. I became a member in 1997 when I began to specialize in the compensation area and was interested in what Certification could offer me. WorldatWork is key in providing the most up-to-date issues/trends facing compensation professionals today, which in turn helps me provide my company with more insight.
The networking opportunities at workshops, seminars, and annual conferences have proven invaluable over the years."

"Through the certification courses, the informative Web site, workspan magazine and WorldatWork Journal, and the annual conference, my professional knowledge has been significantly enhanced. My certification has opened doors for me in my career and established my credentials as a knowledgeable compensation practitioner. I consider my WorldatWork membership to be the most important professional resource available to me."

"The access to all areas of the WorldatWork Web site is an underrated benefit--there is a lot of helpful information and research available. The annual conference is yet another opportunity to expand your education, network with fellow practitioners and visit with vendors. This will be my third year in a row attending and I cannot imagine not going every year--it is very worthwhile to make a commitment to go. Overall, WorldatWork provides a great service to compensation professionals at all levels of their career."
