New Ethics Requirement for CPD

One of our main goals at CPHR Manitoba is to protect the public from unethical and incompetent HR practices in the workplace. While all CPHR Manitoba members must abide by the Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct, it is CPHR Canada’s role to set guidelines to help CPHRs make better decisions and to guide you properly so that you can, in turn, better guide your employers and clients.

CPHR Canada and the member provinces have introduced a mandatory ethics requirement that all CPHR members must follow as part of their CPD curriculum over each rolling three-year period starting in 2021- 2024. As you know, all CPHR’s must meet a mandatory 60-hour CPD requirement over a rolling three years as part of their continued certification. Within that 60 hours, three hours must relate to ethics specifically. The three-hour CPD requirement can be obtained through various providers that offer ethics training. Again, this is only a requirement over a rolling three-year period, not every year.

To help support you in obtaining ethics training, CPHR Canada has partnered with Neovox Media and created a three-hour ethics course called Professionals in Grey Areas – How to Make Ethical Decisions. Completing this free ethics course will provide you with the three-hour minimum.

This course was developed to help you familiarize yourself with the essential concepts of ethics. More specifically, to:

• Raise your awareness to its importance
• Empower you to detect ethical issues
• Introduce you to the ethical analysis of situations

Therefore, upon completion you will be better prepared to play an even more critical role in your workplace.
