Education in HR management may be more preferable, as it includes knowledge of economics and business, which is important for working in the HR field. For HRD, it is not enough to be a good psychologist - you need broader knowledge. Unlike medicine or IT, education in this field does not play such a critical role.

In a situation where the HRD does not have an understanding of the company's strategy, objectives and development direction, it will be difficult for him to plan and analyze recruitment, projects and financial plans. If the top management sets a goal to increase the staff by 100 employees per year, the HR director's task is not limited to a simple answer "We'll do it!" He must study the task and determine what resources are needed to solve it. Therefore, he must have a good understanding of the business and be able to speak the same language as the management.

To reach this level, it is necessary to ask questions and collect information about business processes and products. Without this, the HRD will not be able to communicate with top management in the same language.

If you want to become an HRD, you will find the following useful:

An economics degree or an MBA. The latter is especially important if you have ambitions to become a CEO or operations manager.

Additional education in the field of recruiting and project management.

Time management skills.

Mentoring: Theory and practical tasks don't always go together easily, and a mentor can help sync them up.
