Seeking Advice: What Courses or Certifications Can Boost My HR Career Growth?

Hi, I have completed my graduation from C.U. and then pursued an MBA in HR from P.T.U. I have approximately five years of experience in HR generalist roles. Currently, I am employed as a Senior HR Executive in a Malaysian construction company.

Suggestions for Career Growth

Please suggest some courses and certifications for my career growth.

Regards,

Keep working continuously after the Sr. HR Executive until you reach Assistant Manager. I hope that you are not holding back on your career growth. When it comes to advancing in your career, it will benefit you. You can also try working for another company that offers a higher salary than your current CTC, taking you one step closer to your goals compared to staying in the same company.

If you are satisfied with your current organization, that's fine. However, changing organizations can often lead to advancement to a managerial position.

Thanks.

Could you please share what made you feel like going for more HR certifications and courses? Is it that you are not happy with your work right now or doing something that is not actually helping you improve your knowledge and enhance your skills? I believe you must share more about the things running in your mind and bothering you so that we can actually understand you and your problem, and give you the right and proper direction to go ahead.

Well, generally in a case like yours, we get two things. First, it could be that you are not happy with your present work and somehow are not satisfied with the knowledge you have earned, which is making you feel like you need to go for more courses to help you earn more knowledge, experience, and career growth. If this is the case, you can improve your knowledge by reading and learning on CiteHR, which can be beneficial. By engaging in the live discussions that take place daily on real-life issues here on CiteHR, you can show your involvement and enhance your learning through the available material to reach your goals.

Secondly, if something has made you feel that pursuing more courses or certifications could lead to a higher salary or other benefits, I would say you might be on the wrong path. With your current position, you can also expect similar opportunities.

With almost 5 years of working experience and an MBA in HR, you must have a good understanding of HR functions and can explore many more options for career growth.

To enhance your knowledge and skills, as mentioned earlier, you can invest your time in reading and strengthening your knowledge. It is essential to keep yourself updated with the relevant Acts that can greatly benefit you.
