You don’t need an MBA to climb the HR ladder in Hong Kong

 

I love HR, but have been stuck in a middle management position for about seven years. I’d really like to climb the ladder and secure a position as a director or head of department, but am unsure how to do so. I’ve been thinking about an MBA in HRM, but the programmes available seem so expensive. Is it really worth the investment? How much of a pay rise can I realistically expect if I complete the programme and apply for a new role?
