360° overview
" My position as HR business partner involves multiple functions,
such as recruitment & selection, career guidance, talent management
and development, KPI reporting and social dialogue. Handling
compensation & benefits is also part of my responsibility. This is
exactly the reason why it is less obvious for me to specialise in one
particular area of HR. The ‘Compensation & Benefits’ programme gave
me the chance to study the various aspects of that field. It offers a
360° overview of the subject matter, giving enough consideration
to the main points without going into too much detail. In addition
to being introduced to expert faculty, I found it valuable and nice to
share knowledge and experiences with the other participants. “
