Maintaining Your CPHR

All CPHR designation holders should engage in a variety of professional development activities to maintain currency in the HR profession. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) represents an ongoing commitment to your career in human resources and is required in order to ensure you keep abreast of changes in the field. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) signifies continued mastery of the CPHR Competency Framework, which outlines 49 discipline-specific professional competencies. 

Online Reporting - CPHR designation holders only

We have updated our CPD online reporting to a more user friendly system, that makes it easier to view and log your CPD hours. As of February 2024, the old reporting system will no longer be in use. Your previous CPD hours have been moved over to the new system and your log in information remains the same.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirement 

CPHRs must earn a minimum of 60 hours in any consecutive three (3) year window and a minimum of 10 hours each year by May 31 (in alignment with our membership year) to maintain the CPHR designation. A minimum of three (3) hours must relate to ethics within each consecutive three (3) year window.

How does a rolling 3-year period work?

By May 31 of each year, 60 hours must have been accumulated in the previous three (3) years. For the next year, the oldest of the three (3) years will be discarded and you will need to accumulate enough hours to reach 60 hours for that previous three (3) year period (with a minimum of 10 hours in any given year). We recommend working towards 20 hours each year in order to stay ahead.

Failure to meet the CPD requirements through the annual reporting process will result in revocation.  

Ethics Requirement

The three-hour ethics requirement can be obtained through various providers that offer ethics training, however CPHR Canada has also developed a three-hour ethics course in partnership with Iluxi to satisfy this requirement called “Navigating Change: Ethical Responsibilities in the Digital Age”. This course is free for CPHR members and is only accessible to CPHRs. For information on accessing this course, please refer to the CPD Handbook. 

Leaves of Absence from CPD – Family or Personal Leave

CPHR Manitoba is committed to supporting our members through life events by offering a Leave of Absence (LOA) option from the CPD requirement. A leave of absence could be granted for various reasons, including but not limited to, becoming a caregiver for elderly or sick child, deciding to raise children, and choosing not to practice as a CPHR for a period.

Note: The LOA applies only to the CPD requirement.

More information about leaves of absences can be found in the CPD Handbook. 

Audit

Please keep original receipts and supporting documentation, as CPHR Manitoba is required to audit three percent (3%) of all CPHR members annually. More information about the audit process can be found in the CPD Handbook. 

If you have any questions, please refer to the CPD Handbook or contact hello@cphrmb.ca.
