My Human Resource Profession Map
I completed my CIPD HR map on 27th November 2012, for which a summary of my results for my specified professional area can be found in appendices one.

I have completed my HR map based on band 2, this is due to currently working within a human resource environment and is based on my background and skills gain from working as a Regional Human Resource Officer.

Professional Area – Service Delivery and Information
- Match people and tasks to ensure processes work well. People are different with different strengths and levels of knowledge or experience. Think of them differently and allocate tasks according to capabilities.
I have to carry out appraisals for all staff in early 2013, I will be able to use this in order to determine each person’s strengths in order to match them to future tasks.
- Familiarise yourself with key HR models and delivery options.
