Unit Overview
Whether the learner is a generalist or a specialist, this unit of cipd level 3 aims to give them a greater grasp of the expertise, abilities, and behaviour required of a skilled practitioner. Following a self-assessment of learning and growth requirements, it enables students to design a personal development plan that addresses both their personal and professional goals.
According to the CIPD, an HR profession map (HRPM) has been developed to highlight the expertise, skills set and behaviours required by HR and L&D professionals (CIPD, 2013). As a result, the HRPM offers a framework for defining and achieving competency as a human resource practitioner, as well as the tasks and items that must be completed to achieve this. The HR functions of the organisation are depicted on the map. The resume also shows that the applicant has relevant knowledge and expertise in the field of human resources at all levels (Ulrich et al., 2015). To put it simply, the map was put together as a reference for HR professionals around the world.
There are 10 professional fields, eight behaviours, and four bands and transitions that make up the HRPM's key components. The ten areas of expertise describe what a human resources manager should know and be able to perform; the eight behaviours describe HR practises; and the four bands and transitions show the hierarchy of the profession (Ulrich et al., 2015). At each of the four bands, the band focuses on ten different professional fields. They are also in line with the eight essential behaviours expected of all human resources practitioners. Organization design, insight, strategy and solution, employee engagement, employee relations, service, delivery and information, performance and reward, leading HR, resourcing and talent planning, organisational development, learning and developing talent are the ten professional areas that explain what professionals should know and accomplish (CIPD, 2013). The two most important professional domains for HR practitioners are leadership and insights, strategy, and solutions.
Unit Objectives
If you've completed this unit, you should have a better understanding of what it takes to be an effective HR practitioner, as well as an understanding of how to provide timely and reliable HR services to meet the needs of customers. You should also understand what it takes for you to grow professionally and create a professional development plan.
Insights, Strategy, and Solutions
Using experience to build on strategies and generate suitable, dynamic, and innovative solutions is how an HR professional may help a business enhance its performance. By fostering a grasp of the organization's objectives and actively contributing to their attainment, a human resource professional is a successful human resource professional (Ulrich et al., 2015). A human resources professional must have a firm grasp on the company's products and services, as well as the kinds of customers they hope to serve (CIPD, 2013). Human resources professionals are responsible for offering counsel and answers to HR issues that affect their entire organisation since they have a thorough understanding of the company's organisational structure, objectives, products, and consumers.
Leading HR
An HR professional must be involved, knowledgeable, and able to provide guidance. As a result, an HR specialist owns, defines, and drives their own and other people's lives, as well as the operations of the firm (CIPD, 2013). It is suggested that HR professionals lead by serving as role models for the organisation and motivating its teams to achieve its goals, and this is what Leading HR is all about.
To that end, the Leading HR model states that HR practitioners must be able to communicate effectively with employees at all levels and from a variety of backgrounds (Ulrich et al., 2015). In doing so, they put their knowledge and experience in human resource management to work in order to help their teams better grasp the company's mission and goals. Training programmes and mentorship activities are also used to build productive, forward-looking teams.
The Eight Behaviours
The eight behaviours under the HRPM outline how human resource duties should be carried out and how important they are to the organization's long-term performance. Becoming a skillful influencer, being a role model, and being a determined thinker are all included in the HRPM's list of the eight behaviours that make an effective leader (Ulrich et al., 2015). Being able to examine and interpret data and knowledge is an important part of being a decisive thinker. Having personal credibility implies demonstrating expertise via the application of organisational and HR experience that adds value to the company. To be driven to deliver is to be committed, motivated, and focused on altering the organisation and bringing value to it.
To be courageous in the face of resistance to change, an HR professional must not shy away from criticism and speak boldly to challenge the status quo (Ulrich et al., 2015). Having integrity, objectivity, and independence as a role model involves leading by example. As an HR professional, you must be able to work within the limits of your own life, as well as those imposed by your employer and by the law. When an HR professional is curious, they are always on the lookout for new and better approaches to address HR issues. Having the ability to collaborate well with others both inside and outside of the company is a sign of being collaborative. Persuasion, the capacity to inspire, and the ability to secure support from the organization's larger stakeholders are all characteristics of a skilled HR Professional.
4 Bands of Competence
A scale of 1 to 4 is used to identify the four levels of proficiency. There are four bands in all, with the most senior HR practitioners falling within band four. Band 2 includes jobs such as HR assistant (CIPD, 2013). Such experience and talents include personal competence, honesty, curiosity, and an in-depth understanding of the organisation. Expertise in human resources and business demands is what is meant by "professional competency." It is important to have a professional demeanour when it comes to one's work as an entrepreneur. With curiosity, you may be creative and inquiring about human resources challenges. Understanding the structure, aims, products or services, and consumers of a business is essential to operating in accordance with the organization's expectations.
