5DVP: Developing Professional Practice
- Identify the role and contribution of the HR Professional, with reference to the CIPD HR professional map.
HR professional role can be categorised into three actions; administrative, advisory and executive. HR professional role is seen as establishing, maintaining, developing and managing policies within an organisation. Examples of HR roles are change consultant, strategic partner and advisory. HR professional’s role is to produce effective results, maintaining professional knowledge, decisive and serviceable. ‘’Being a professional requires thinking carefully about how we manage our working time, to our ability to think critically, not forgetting the need to develop effective presentation skills and manage difficult relationships’’ stated by Graham Perkin (2016), this sums up the role of a HR professional. The HR professionals can link their roles to the CIPD professional map which then is used to evaluate and define what HR professionals do. It helps the HR professionals to recognise the relationships and qualification and focuses on personal development by keeping track on skills, knowledge and experience. CIPD is the design principle and architect of the professional map, describing what you need to do, what you need to know and how you need to do it within the professional area and the four bands.
The CIPD map consists of ten professional areas, eight behaviours and four bands of competences (CIPD, 2013). Any organisation from small to large, corporate to consulting and charity to public sector can relate to the CIPD map. The bands within the CIPD map represent professional competences and the challenges that HR professionals come across when transitioning from one band to another.
The bands one to four represents;
- The HR professional and client relationship
- HR professionals activities
- The time the HR professional spends
- Clientele service
- HR professional’s contribution and success Is measured.
