How to become a compensation analyst?

To become a compensation analyst, you need a bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, finance, or related field. Courses in business administration and compensation and classification are helpful. Previous experience in HR is a plus, and many employers will prefer candidates who already have a career background working within the department as an HR specialist. Voluntary certification is available for those looking to expand their qualifications. Aspiring compensation analysts must have excellent analytical and communication skills.
