WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals Announces Certification Program Changes
Global Remuneration Professional
The Global Remuneration Professional (GRP) designation provides a foundation of knowledge spanning across borders. The GRP supports professionals to excel around the world. The GRP is earned by passing a required battery of eight examinations.
With the changes to the certification program, the GR5: Performance Management exam is being phased out and will no longer be available after Dec. 31, 2009. The content of performance management is important to practitioners, and is being integrated into courses and exams of GR4: Base Pay Management and GR6: Variable Pay. There is no time limit for completion of these requirements. Examinations are the same in all countries in which courses are undertaken.
Current practices and applicability drive certification program design. Using emerging developments in the field and feedback from past participants, the programs are continuously refined in response to the changes and challenges that impact each professional area.
