Education Level

Extra Requirements

Although not required, certification gives compensation and benefits managers credibility because it shows that they have expertise. Employers may prefer to hire candidates with certification, and some positions require it. Professional associations, including the Society for Human Resource Management, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, and WorldatWork, offer certification programs that that may be helpful for compensation and benefits managers.
