Maintaining Your CPHR Designation

As a CPHR, you represent the standard of quality in human resources practice in Manitoba and Canada. 

There are three requirements that a CPHR must meet in order to maintain their designation:

1. Advance and expand your professional knowledge and practice across the competency areas throughout the year by meeting the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements each year.

Please note: CPHR Canada and its member associations have introduced a mandatory ethics requirement that all CPHR designees must include as part of each rolling three-year CPD requirement period starting in 2021-2024. Click here for more information about this requirement and other CPD information.

2. Adhere to CPHR Manitoba's Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct. 

CPHR Manitoba has updated the Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct to include the Good Character Attestation (GCA). Each year at renewal, you will be asked to confirm whether you've notified CPHR Manitoba of any changes to your Good Character Attestation questions since your membership application or your last membership renewal. If you had changes and did not inform us of those changes, you will need to contact CPHR Manitoba as soon as possible. Any information received from members related to the GCA will be safeguarded and not distributed in any way.

Failing to pass the Good Character Attestation does not prevent reinstatement in the association. Depending on the gravity of the matter, the Registrar determines at that point in time whether an applicant or member passes the good character test. As circumstances change and applicants or members are able to present a convincing case that their good character has changed or improved, then a new decision can be made. For more information about the GCA, click here.

 3. Maintain a membership with your provincial association. With CPHR Manitoba, annual renewal is required by May 31st each year.

Certification can be revoked if you fail to meet the above listed requirements.

When you attain your Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation, you establish yourself as one of the highest ranking and skilled professionals in HR.

Leave of Absence from CPD Requirement

CPHRs may request a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the CPD requirement. CPHRs who are granted a LOA are required to maintain a membership and remain in good standing with CPHR Manitoba during the LOA period granted. Please ensure your contact info is up to date in your member profile so you will continue to receive all communications from CPHR Manitoba while on leave. For more information about the LOA including the application process, please see the CPD overview page. CPHR Manitoba also offers CPHR members the opportunity to apply for renewal dues assistance at the time of membership renewal.
