Help with business case for studying

Jennifer

I have asked my employer if they will help me study my CIPD level 5 certificate. I am an office manager with a small amount of HR experience and want to make a career out of HR. They have asked me to put together a business case and one part is to say how it would benefit the business. What sort of thing should I look at? I have never written a business case before!

    I've not done a business case for studying but I have come into our organisation as a legal executive and studied before transitioning into the HR role as there wasn't one either. My advice is to sit and think about your company and how it functions and where expertise/knowledge of best practice and employment law would benefit.

    Some of the biggest changes I implemented when progressing into my role was introduction of an employee handbook, development on an internal HR Site to help new hires onboarding and as an information point for existing employees.

    I found one of my company's biggest challenges was communications. It is quite easy to assume everyone is informed of changes, company strategy or even mistakes to be learned from with a staff of 8 but but less so with 30 or 60 etc.

    There are lots of areas where HR can make a positive change within your company but you will need to identify those and be willing to follow through on them once they give you the support for the training. My advice is don't pick too many, just a couple of large ones to put into the business plan or you could end up overwhelmed when it comes down to getting started.

    Good luck!
