As a Human Resources Officer working with people on a daily basis, a postgraduate qualification in Psychology will prove extremely valuable, as you provide psychological insight into various work practices and processes.
Your insight into human behaviour will be useful when assisting in the recruitment process, maintaining a healthy and safe work environment and connecting employees dealing with mental health issues to relevant support services.
