How Can HR Certifications Boost My Career and Salary Prospects?

Career Advancement for HR Professionals

I am working as a Sr. HR executive in a Pvt Ltd firm, currently handling end-to-end recruitment for Non-IT roles, employee engagement activities, and administration. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to work on real-time Payroll Management Systems and Performance Management Systems. I have 3.5 years of total experience and I am now looking for a change. I am also planning to pursue a certification. Kindly suggest a certification that will enhance my career profile.

During an interview with a reputed MNC last year, I went through all the rounds successfully. However, in the final round, a question was asked by the HR interviewer: "Have you completed any certification programs?" I regretfully answered no.

Industries in Demand for HR Professionals

What industries are HR professionals in demand in? Kindly advise me on how I can enhance my salary scale and avail more learning opportunities.

Hi Vinod Kumar,

Could you please mention your current qualification? Also, a diploma in HRM would work well. Alternatively, if you are looking to focus on a particular vertical, you can opt for specialized courses in payroll, soft skill training, etc. There are also distance learning options available for HRM diploma/certificate courses. Good luck!

Dear Foram and Shafeeul,

I have completed MBA in HR from Anna University (Regular) and PG Diploma in Labour Laws from Madurai Kamaraj University. Please suggest, as I am planning to study LLB. Kindly help me figure out how to pursue LLB full-time while working full-time.
