The Analysis and Design of Work

Whether you plan to be an HR professional, how might you use this competency model for your professional development? Specifically, how would you gain proficiency in each of these nine competencies? How might doing so help you succeed in your chosen occupation?

According to SHRM’s competency model, any professional who wants to succeed in their career has to know the essential skills, knowledge, abilities, and other characteristics needed in that profession or role. Consequently, one should take the initiative to take training that would enable them to gain such skills to enhance their competencies in service delivery. Other than training, doing practice is the best way of learning. For instance, to improve communication, one may need to start by practicing how to improve their listening skills. One would, as a result, research more about the techniques of active listening and practice it even at workplaces (Cohen, 2015). Conducting research and practicing can be used to gain the nine competencies outlined by the SHRM. An individual with such key competencies can easily succeed within their occupation area because they will be able to execute their roles professionally. Equally, they will be able to master how to relate with juniors, colleagues, and even seniors at the place of work.

How might the robust empirical process used to develop the model promote the model’s credibility among business leaders? How would you argue favor the model for leaders in a government organization? In a multinational, private corporation?

Enhancing leadership capacity is critical for businesses, government organizations, or multinational corporations to remain competitive within the current business environment. Irrespective of the industry, leadership development, and succession planning are vital concerns. As a result, the SHRM model helps to connect leaders and workers to the organizational strategic goals. It helps build a link between the organization and its people, the most valuable assets. Moreover, the model directly contributes to a business or organization’s growth and culture that matches the current workplace and promotes competitive advantage (McCartney et al., 2020). Subsequently, this model contributes to initiatives of learning and development that are critical in bringing employees up to speed on change and innovation within organizations. The workforce ready to change is well placed to adopt digital transformations.

What do you think about the relative value of each of the nine competencies at different career stages of HR practitioners? For example, how might an executive HR professional differ from an entry-level HR professional in their need for these competencies?

HR expertise is more vital for an executive HR professional than an entry-level HR professional. This is because an Executive HR professional has a lot of duties that need expertise to execute effectively.

Global and cultural effectiveness is also most appropriate for an executive HR professional to relate sensitively with international clients or workers across diverse cultural backgrounds. An entry HR professional may have got a level of leading a team.

Communication is critical for an executive HR professional because an entry HR professional can still have time to learn and practice. Moreover, an Executive HR professional leads a team, thus needing effective communication.

Consultation is vital for entry-level HR professionals because they are still learning. Thus, need to consult a lot.

Critical evaluation is most appropriate for an executive HR professional due to several sensitive issues that one may have to handle.

Business acumen is essentially most appropriate for an executive HR officer who is deemed to have gained knowledge, skills, and experience in the corporate business.

Ethical practice is vital for both an executive and entry-level HR professional. Both of them must act and work ethically.

Leadership and Navigation are primarily critical for an executive HR professional already leading a team and has to provide oversight.

How do you think business schools and HR programs could use the model for curriculum development for both HR professionals and students in other fields of business administration?

Despite attempts to make the HRM curriculum more relevant, significant gaps still exist. Therefore, the HR curriculum should concentrate more on work-based skills and be critical to the current work environment (Cohen, 2015). The examination structure should be redefined to suit the skills required in the HR profession.
