Employer Benefits

As an employer of an EMBA participant, your company is a direct beneficiary of the RSM EMBA. Observe your investment transform a high-potential candidate into a high-performance leader, positively impacting all those who work with them. You can expect your employee to bring a renewed vigour into his or her role as well as the latest strategic ideas and cutting-edge knowledge – to be shared with and to inspire others within your organisation. 

An EMBA will connect your company to a worldwide resource of experts, institutes, and other firms around the world. A swift and tangible return on investment is also retrieved via the programmes applied in-company projects. 

Return on investment

An unusually large 70% of our executive MBA participants receive company sponsorship of some kind. In return for financial sponsorship, participants usually agree to stay with their companies for an agreed period of time, depending on how much support they receive. Most sponsored participants sign loyalty agreements of between one and four years after completion of the programme. Our research shows however that most companies feel they have received a full return on their investment a mere 17 months of the launch of the programme, thanks to their candidate’s improved performance and expanded networks. 

Supporting high potentials 

There are many ways a company can sponsor its managers. The most obvious is via the financing of tuition fees and expenses for travel and accommodation, both of which are tax deductible. Companies also lend support by providing participants with scope to apply new ideas within their company during the in-company projects. While our schedule is designed to minimise time away from the office, an important resource a company can offer an EMBA participant is time
