Early in career -- will CPP help me stand out for HR/Benefits & Compensation Roles? [FL]

Hey there!

I am early in my corporate career and have 1 year under my belt as a Payroll Coordinator. I love my Payroll team but I am interested in eventually getting back out there and shifting gears towards HR/Benefits & Compensation/Total Rewards. My company is willing to pay for me to become a CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) and I'm interested because I think it is a great learning opportunity to understand paychecks, taxation, basic accounting, multi-state payroll/compliance, etc. I generally do believe Payroll is a great foundation and gateway to Benefits and Compensation.

What do you think? Do you all think this CPP certification will help distinguish me for HR/B&C roles once I dive back into the job search? Or is it totally irrelevant?
