Briefly summarise the HRPM (i.e. the 2 core professional areas, the remaining professional areas, the bands and the behaviours)
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.
The map divides Human Resources into 10 professional areas, each further divided into four bands whilst also including 8 desired behaviours. The 10 Professional areas describes what you need to do (the activities) and what you need to know at four bands of professional competence, as well as outlining the predominant behaviours that you need to exhibit when carrying out the activities. The Behaviours describes the behaviours needed to carry out activities in more detail. Each behaviour is also divided into four bands of professional competence. Each behaviour also lists a number of contra indicators which illustrate negative behaviour. There are four bands of professional competence to reflect the hierarchy of the profession within the Map. The Map also identifies and describes how you need to change and develop to move from one band to another.
Comment on the activities and knowledge specified within any 1 professional area, at either band 1 or band 2, identifying those you consider most essential to your own (or other identified) HR role.
