| Do You
Know Your HR Stuff?
Are you an expert in HR? How well-versed are you in the
functional areas of HR management? The Body of Knowledge
Content Outline, published by the Human Resource Certification
Institute, includes HR competencies in the following areas:
- Strategic management
- Workforce planning and employment
- Human resource development
- Compensation and benefits
- Employee and labor relations
- Occupational health, safety and security
- HR professional core knowledge
How would you assess your level of knowledge and experience
in each of these functional areas? Do you have broad enough
knowledge to be a strong HR Generalist? Do you know enough in
each of the functional areas in order to be an effective
specialist?
Increasingly, HR professionals who are well- grounded in
each of the functional areas of HR are better able to
understand the interrelationships in HR and to develop
policies and programs that are effective in reaching
organizational goals at a strategic level.
Conduct a self-assessment to analyze where your background
is strong and where you may need additional development and
study. You may be able to broaden your knowledge by investing
in one or more of the following development activities:
- Participate in cross-functional work teams and projects
- Develop a mentoring relationship with a strong
professional in your organization or community
- Attend classes and programs, and read texts with an
in-depth perspective in your deficient areas
- Attend a workshop that addresses all the functional
areas, such as a class like the SHRM HR Generalist
Certificate program, taught across the country in a two and
one-half day format
- Enroll in a college-level course in HR management
- Get active in your local HR association
