Accomplishments

Congratulations to Emily Schorer, Compensation & Employment Services Manager, who recently completed the rigorous process of earning the designation of Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) from WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals. 

Recognized as the world's standard since 1976, the CCP designation is known throughout the global rewards community as a mark of expertise and excellence in the area of compensation. It is obtained by successfully passing nine comprehensive examinations designed to measure an individual's level of knowledge about compensation and total rewards management theory and practice.

Achievement of this professional designation is a very significant accomplishment. Emily joins an elite group of compensation professionals (including Kathy LaBernz, Human Resources Manager) who have achieved this status.  By achieving the CCP designation, Emily has joined over 13,000 other certified professionals who have met the highest level of professional performance and standards of professional practice.
