Professional Development


The value of continuing education and professional development has never been more important than now. HR and total rewards professionals will need to ensure their organization’s total rewards portfolio attract and retain the key talent needed to drive performance and culture. Partnering with WorldatWork, CBN is committed to providing total rewards professionals within our community the tools, resources, professional development and certification opportunities required for success! CBN members receive the deepest discount off of the WorldatWork member and non-member costs.

Select from a wide array of courses while at the same time supporting the Compensation and Benefits Network of Greater St. Louis. Details on learning and certification opportunities can be found here.

The Value of Certification

With certification you are telling your employer and the world you are equipped to make strategic decisions and implement practical solutions to address today’s complex business challenges. The WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals, an affiliate of WorldatWork, provides HR professionals worldwide with designations of prestige. Based on the universal principles, the Society provides six prestigious designations in key areas of total rewards: compensation, benefits and work-life. Depending on the certification you desire, you may be required to pass an accumulation of exams or pass one comprehensive exam. It’s time to distinguish yourself and show that you are committed to remaining on the leading edge of your profession. Find out more about certification today. As a CBN member, we aim to provide course offerings, subject to WorldatWork offerings, which would facilitate CCP certification within three years.
