Hi all,
I am working as an Admin Exec with a leading MNC in Gurgaon. My job responsiblities and my career graph thus far drift me more towards HR coordination than Administration.
I find myself torn between two choices for development - a course in Logistics to grow in Administration or a PGDM / MBA in HR ; but am definitely more inclined towards HR.
How far can the HR courses help me at this stage to get into payroll / policying / reimbursements in HR as I am not too keen to get involved with recruitment? For a working professional like me, a correspondence course could be the only choice - does that help??
Regards,
P.D.

Hi,
Since you are working person, full time courses are out of the question.
Since you are more inclined towards HR, sooner you get a formal qualification in HR, the better for your future career. You will have learnt the concepts, the tools and techniques systematically. What comes your way in your HR career and how you are able to configure your career choices and options will depend upon how manage yourself in the career.
In the given situation you are ideally placed to consult Archana and Shyamali on the choice of courses as they are both (I suppose) from Delhi, but on my part I will recommend SYMBIOSIS of Pune for distance learning courses. Frankly I do not know about too many other courses that I can recommend!
I suggest you make up your mind, prepare yourself by acquiring proper qualification and manage to place yourself in a suitable job AND derive the happiness of doing the work you like!!
Cheers and best of luck for you journey to happiness.

Hi Samvedan,
Many thanks for your reply!
I read a lot about core HR and would like to understand what Core-HR means? Are there further specializations within HR? If that is so, may be instead of PGDM / MBA in HR, I might focus on functional development within HR.
Hi Archana, Shyamali,
Appreciate your help on some information regarding HR courses from institutes that matter! Though I have time constraints, I would still like to try for a part-time course if possible.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
HR is a specialization at the academic level and accepted by Industry.
Within HR there are many areas from Personnel Administration and Training & Development to Industrial Relations-Union-Management Relations-Collective Bargaining, Statutory Compliances etc. and the all encompassing (in my humble opinion) the HR.
It is at work, one develops expertise in any or all areas of the function that he gets exposed to and/or is attracted by and/or is assigned to handle. The so to say "further specialization" within HR emerges thus.
Anyone with exposure to the function even from a distance, knows sufficient to select the areas that he woud like to excel in, but for that he must enter the exciting field of HR.
If this entire journey is preceded by a formal assimmilation of knowledge inputs, that would be the right path!

Since my job responsibilities revolve around coordinating: employee training & development, new employee setup, salary/overtime/incentive payout, domestic/international travel arrangements including hotel bookings, arranging forex and taking care of forex and medical/fuel reimbursements - what chance do I stand in making a career in HR without a PGDM / MBA in HR?

HI Parichay,
Having a formal qualification is equally important for getting into HR now a days, only HR experience without having a formal qualification will only be of help if you are on a Sr position and practising HR for a long time.
Most firms now see MBA or PGDBM/PGDBA before considering a resource for HR position.
Having said that activities undertaken by you should not limit to Database Maint, recruitments, Seleting and Shortlisting candidates for various jobs, keeping track of Time n Attendance, cooridnation with other departemnts but on supervisory and managerial level as well
Deciding and designing KRA, KPI's etc doing Perforance Appraisals, Payroll, Benefits
Introducing and Implementing diff HR policies for smoother and more efficient operation
Grievance handling, ESI, PF, Benefits that can or can not be given, the list is endless
I think MDI at Gurgaon offers MBA and also AICTE or like Samvedan suggested you can go for Symbiosys Long Distance
If you have ecided to go into HR I would suggest to go for a professional course side by side.

Thanks Sourabh! That helps in clearing my doubts to an extent.
For record, I had completed my MBA in Marketing from Symbiosis but decided to alter my field of operations to Admin/HR. Though this qualification might not hold value for me, is there any way I may be able to derive value out of this?
My registration is now cancelled with completion of course at Symbiosis, so is there any commendable institute that could help me get an extra specialization edging towards HR? A full 2-yrs course sounds stretching the old bay again. I shall still go for it knowing that is the only option available!
Little guidance from you all may be of great help here!

Dear Parichay,
MBA in Marketing and now you want to shift to HR.
GOOD. :)
What I would suggest is to take up a course, if possible part time in HR, that will surely help you in long term.
Experience in HR is a good thing but most of the companies prefer people with good professional degree and diplomas.
SO, if you want you can join MBA from AIMA, Lodhi road.
Executive MBA from FMS Delhi
IGNOU MBA is also of good repute.
IMT Ghaziabad also offers MBA part time program.
ANy good institute and a degree will help you plan your career.
Think of it!!
