Assessment 1- The effective HR Practitioner
Continuous Professional Development is the term used to describe the actions of an individual who is continuously reviewing and developing their professional skills and experience. During the course of CPD the HR Professional will work on a Personal Development Plan which encourages future learning. It does this by pinpointing your current learning state and identifying what skills and experience you need to develop to move forward. When you have identified your learning opportunities through your PDP, this encourages you to put actions into place which will help you to gain the experience you need or develop your skillset.
CPD is important because it is expected that as a HR practitioner you will have kept up with developments in the field of HR Management, as well as legislation and other social and economic changes. It ensures that you are competent within your role in HR.
The HR Profession Map is a tool that has been created by the CIPD which captures what successful HR people do across every aspect of the field. It sets out the required activities, behaviour and knowledge. Within the map there are ten professional areas and eight behaviours. It also sets out four bands of competence which range from Administrator level to Organisation leaders.
The HR Map is important because it is a vital tool for your CPD. Not only does the map show you the professional areas, behaviours and bands, but it helps you to identify where you currently sit within it. It also shows you what you need to do to get to the next band or personal goal that you have and gives you suggestions of actions you could put into place.
To give an example of how the Map works I will summarise three of the professional areas and how the map is helping me to develop.
