Knowledge, skills and behaviours required to be an effective HR Professional
Three core skills HR professional needs to posses to become effective as a HR professional are:
* Strategies, Insights and Solutions * To me to have a strategy you will need to research and plan what you will need to do to achieve a specific result by gaining insight into specific areas to develop a solution * Leading and Managing the HR Function * To have a leader within HR with vision and a mission who can then effectively manage the HR department effectively utilising strengths with the ability to manage around weaknesses * Resource and Talent Planning * I believe Resource is to effectively employ the right person in the right role with Talent planning to have a succession plan in place with a good learning and development support structure.
