4DEP Developing Yourself as an Effective Human Resources Practitioner Activity 1 The CIPD HRPM is an outline of what CIPD believes are the core behaviours, activities and knowledge that an individual would need to become a good HR professional. It is also to help the individual develop the above attributes for the future to add value to the organisation. It is a point of reference to show what a successful HR professional should look like at all levels and sets targets and objectives for future development for each of the bands. The HRPM is broken down as follows: 10 professional areas – that layout the requirements, what you need to do and know at all the four bands as well as outlining the predominant behaviours that you need to …show more content…
The HR professional needs to be easy to contact and able to respond quickly and effectively. Obviously employees require accurate pay and benefits, on time. They also want to be given the opportunity for training and development. Managers want an HR function which understands the workforce and can help balance the organisations employee and business needs. They want a proactive HR function which identifies issues before they happen and works with managers to address them. They would like HR to help them with their most challenging people issues including motivation, change and skills development. An HR function which does not understand the business and the workforce completely loses its value. The needs of employees and managers may sometimes be conflicting. For example, managers require high levels of production and longer working hours whereas employees want more time off and more focus on work/life balance. A good HR department need to work with both groups to find the right balance. A way of resolving these conflicts is to focus on the overall needs of the organisation. Ensuring that the appropriate workers are recruited and retained will help this. The skills and abilities of the employee need to be aligned to their job role and HR need to tailor development and training to ensure productivity is reached and to manage turnover of employees. Coaching and counselling
The HR department officials in most organizations perform as they should. In most cases, they also focus on achieving the right things. Human Resource departments focus organizing, controlling, and hiring employees in organizations. When organizations apply HR practices, the results are great client satisfaction, a good net margin, and reduced sickness absence (Richard and Johnson, 2001). Vermeeren et al. (2014) posit that there is a great relationship between performance and HRM. Most organizations use the human resource department to ensure that operations run smoothly.
The CIPD HRPM is a developmental tool that sets out activities, behaviours and guidelines to become a successful HR Professional. Without a Human Resources team, many companies would fall apart. By HR professionals following the guidelines set by the profession map, this would assure that any organisation would be sustainable and successful.
The recognised benchmark of professionalism in HR is to become a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). The CIPD Code of Professional Conduct (recently revised) sets high standards of practice demonstrated by members being committed to the highest standards of
HR professionals have to think carefully about what they are doing in the context of their organization and within the framework of recognised body of knowledge. They have to perform effectively in the sense of delivering advise, guidance and services that will help the organisation to achieve its goals.
The CIPD Human Resources Profession Map (HRPM) consists of two core professional areas, eight behaviours and ten professional areas.
The CIPD HR Profession Map describes what HR professionals need to do, what they need to know and how to do it within each professional area at four bands of professional competence.
The current function of HR can be defined as supporting “the delivery of the organisation’s strategy and objectives through the effective management of people and performance” (Taylor & Woodhams, 2012; 22). This definition is furthered by a CIPD survey (2007; 2-3), which indicated that the key functions of HR are: recruiting and retaining staff, progressing performance management to maximise the value of employees and increasing employee engagement.
CIPD’s HR Profession Map sets out standards for HR professionals around the world- the activities, knowledge and behaviours needed for success. It represents an accurate tool that guides an HR practitioner’s learning and development towards becoming an effective HR professional. It was launched in 2009 and today it is used by a large number of organisations to define or benchmark their team of HR professionals at all levels.
The Professional areas describe the activities you need to undertake and what you need to
The CIPD HR Profession Map outlines the activities, knowledge and behaviours the cipd believe are required by different HR to sustained value to the organisation it operates in, now and in the future. It is a benchmark to what successful and effective HR people do and deliver across every aspect and specialism of the profession, and sets out the required underpinning skills, behaviour and knowledge.
Managers rely on HR to provide effective staff capable of accomplishing the goals of the organization. HR is valuable in ensuring
The objective of the Human Resource Department is to design management systems to ensure human talent is maximized to effectively and efficiently achieve organizational goals. HR has seven functions that are intertwined. These functions are global, environmental, cultural geographic, political, social, legal, economic, and technological. Human resource management has the potential to drastically impact the success and effectiveness of an organization. Human Resources has heavily focused on recordkeeping and paperwork. It has often been considered a clerical and low-level administrative department. In most organizations, Human Resources is looked upon as the employee mediator in the organization. They tend to be the voice of the employee, building company morale and putting out fires involving crisis management. The problems they deal with are both employee work-related and not work-related. HR strives to ensure fair treatment for all employees. They work with varying departments throughout the organization in order to create and implement necessary programs and policies. HR works with equal employment opportunity and other laws, to ensure compliance. They work to fill current job openings by processing applications, interviewing, and training. They answer questions regarding benefits and wages and address safety issues. The expansion of technology and outsourcing have drastically transformed the
Human resource management is one of the multi-faceted functions which enable a given organization to keep running in a controlled and well-planned manner. The primary definition of human resource management refers to the "process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough manner. This covers the fields of staffing (hiring people), retention of people, pay and perks setting and management, performance management, change management and taking care of exits from the company to round off the activities" (managementstudyguide, 2012). A secondary definition of HRM Management involves balancing people and arranging one's workforce from a macro point of view (managementstudyguide, 2012). From this perspective human resources management concerns itself with enabling its employees, developing their skills and objectives and furthering the strength of the rapport between the supervisory staff and team members (managementstudyguide, 2012). Given this dual function and the split focus of human resources management, designating the competencies that a HR practitioner should possess is extremely important.
Human Resources Manager (HRM) has a role in which they “efficiently achieve the objectives of the organization with and through the people. To achieve its objective, management typically requires the coordination of several vital components, called functions” (DeCenzo, Robbins, & Verhulst, 2013). These functions are what were discussed last week, with the four identified as planning, organizing, leading and controlling. The reason HRM is vital is to ensure the success of the business is partly because of employee satisfaction, motivated productivity and proper feedback is given both ways between managers and employees. This is where you come in to ensure employers are conducting business is a safe and ethical manner as well as ensuring employees are following proper procedures in the workforce. The role of an HRM to the workforce, one will come across situations where the need to know how to react, both legally and ethically. With all of this said, the overall goal of the HRM is to attract, train and keep good employees; keeping turnover rate low and subject matter experts employed.
