If you could take just one more qualification what would it be...?

Rachel

Hi All

I have managerial background (10 years in junior managerial roles), a subsequent late arrival to HR (now an HR Advisor with a heavy ER bias) and a number of qualifications.  CMS, CPP, CIPD Level 5 but in thinking of the future I wonder what one final course (final means expensive probably) would you do and why? 

In asking why I'd love to know if it would be out something nice to do or can you foresee the future of HR and the direction that our learning and development needs to take next.

Any answers gratefully received

  • Purely for career advancement / getting onto shortlists / good all round knowledge and experience its hard to argue against a Masters in HR . Its increasingly (and not necessarily a good thing) the ticket to play for many HR jobs.

    HR people can always benefit from a good understanding of finance.

    But possibly the next big thing (well hardly next but anyway..) is going to be analytics and business intelligence. Far too few HR people get this and certainly would add a very interesting string to your bow.
