WorldatWork for their Total Rewards Advantage
The Total Rewards Academy evolved from a pilot that started in 2018 with the leading global pharma company Novo Nordisk. The Novo Nordisk executive group challenged our team to deliver an accelerated 3-week program for their 50-strong international rewards team members that could be completed in one year.
The pilot was a major success. In the years that followed, over 20 leading international companies have joined the sponsor group – here are some of those participating in the 2023/24 Program.
Gain the skills to manage compensation globally, the confidence to speak with authority, and a recognized designation that shows current and future employers that you are committed to operating with the highest professional standards.
Proven recognition. Global 500 companies rely on WorldatWork certifications to power their employee rewards, engagement and retention efforts.
Practical, expert content. Our course and exam content taps the insights and experiences of expert practitioners and experienced consultants.
Powerful networking. Initiate a new phase of high-powered networking with faculty and peers.
Who Should Get a GRP®? This certification is perfect for entry to senior HR professionals interested in understanding multi-national reward and compensation programs.
The standard certification program includes 10 courses and 10 corresponding exams which students complete at their own pace, usually over a period of 2-3 years.
The Total Rewards Academy consolidates the program into three 1-week workshops which learners complete over a one year period. Students can receive their GRP certification up to 3 times faster than our standard course format.

“The Total Rewards Academy has increased my understanding of all aspects of Rewards, and gave me the chance to study alongside colleagues from Scandinavian companies. It was a great confidence-building and networking experience, and I would recommend it to all Rewards specialists, at all levels, as a great way to get certification and to learn what other leading companies are doing.”
Paw Olsen GRP®, Senior C&B Specialist, Compensation & Benefits at Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals A/S
“During my time at LEO Pharma and Novo Nordisk I found The Total Rewards Academy an excellent way to learn and discuss the theories and practices of rewards with peers from different companies while getting the much sought after WorldatWork GRP® certification. It gives great insights to why certain approaches are favored over others, but also provides the opportunity to hear what other leading companies are doing and while doing so extending your professional network. I would recommend it for all who would love to get deeper into rewards theories and practices across all the professional levels.”
