Human Resource and Organizational
Management Career Opportunities

The foundational belief in all organization management or HR (human resources) careers is that a company’s employees are the organization’s most important resource. There is, however, a marked difference separating the strategic functions of organization management and the tactical function of human resources.

Persons who obtain an MBA with emphasis in human resources often obtain jobs in a variety of corporate positions. The organization management emphasis, on the other hand, is often utilized by persons with prior work experience or persons seeking a joint degree in order to obtain a entry-level position in another field. Persons who have five or more years of some prior specialty or experience are sometimes hired by strategic consulting firms.

There are a number of areas of general specialization for MBA students interested in human resource (HR) consulting. Persons with statistics or math backgrounds, as well as dual MBAs in accounting find that a career as a compensation specialist may be quite suitable. Those who have more of an interest in technology, optimization, and automation may find that change management or HRIS (human resources information systems) is a good match for them.

Other opportunities in human resources (HR) and organizational management include job analysis, employee relations, restructuring analysis, skill development, recruitment, hiring specialist, and so on.
