Acceptable CPD activities can encompass: ongoing learning, both formal and informal; leadership activities; volunteer activities; academic research or publications; and significant work projects. Meeting this ongoing requirement demonstrates one s commitment to continuous learning in a profession impacted by economic, social, business and legislative changes.

CPD REPORTING LOG 1. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Consulting or Work Projects A: Work/Consulting Initiatives new project or program development, application or implementation related to HR and general business. (Includes secondments and/or assignments outside your normal job duties) For each project, you must provide details and metrics on the following: What was the mission of the project?

March 2012- May 2012 Mission: Create and deliver a classification plan for Sales Professionals base wage escalation. The company never had something like this. Objective: The goal was to implement gradual increments based on satisfactory job performance in a three week timeframe by a set deadline. In the past, there was no process in place for salary increases. They were done on a case-by-case basis. A spectrum of base salary was created and annual increases were only given with management approval and submission of an annual performance review. Outcome: The movement within the base salary grid was also adjusted annually by the average CPI increase for Calgary, Edmonton, and Saskatchewan. In the beginning of the execution, all Outside Sales staff was informed of the change via phone. Additionally, explanatory letters for each Outside Salesperson was written which laid out the classification plan, what level he or she was sitting at, and how they could move to the next step. Additionally, the letter offered an explanation of the CPI adjustment for all the steps. Management and employee signed and dated each letter. This enabled all Outside staff to understand the new procedure and how it affected them. Impact on company: Management had a better handle on costing. Another impact was contributions to the company Group RRSP increased for most employees HR Workplace Co. 25 B: Significant updates/process improvements - E.g. course, project, program or consulting service provided.
