TASK 1
P.1 knowledge skills and behaviour that is required in the HR professional as per the
Whirlpool.
In each and every organisation human resource manager is the key person to handle
the organjrion with their knowledge, skills and behaviour. As the whirlpool is the biggest
organisation in which some of the issues have been arise in the organisation in the
management side. As then human resource manager is not effective and they required certain
Knowledge, skills and behaviour such as follows:
Knowledge required in the Human resource professional:
Administration management: as these the most important knowledge required by the
human resource to perform the day to day operation of the organisation. The way whirlpool
has been failed to perform operation work in effective manner due to poor kwloegde of
administration management by the human resource professional (Pinjani, P. and Palvia, P.,
2013).. It is the responsibility of the human resource manager to maintain the each and every
data of the employees. As the compensation management in which the employee salaries and
wages will be determined according to the leaves taken by the employees. These are the
duties has to perform to an HR professional which they required specific knowledge of
administration management.

Computers and Electronics: These can be the technology knowledge required the human
resource manager it can be computer and electronic knowledge which can be Microsoft excel
and software related in whirlpool are the most important aspect for the effective operational
work that can be done through the different programmed and application in the organisations
(Mendenhall, M.E. ed., 2012).
Skills required by the human resources professional:
Negotiation skills: for every human resource these most important skill to deal with the
employed in the organisation. As in the whirlpool most of the employees are not happy with
the decion of the human resource manager (Katzenbach, J.R. and Smith, D.K., 2015). Also
the employees have the demand to give extra sakreis and wages on the hours basis but the
human resource manage is not effective to negotiated with the employees to bring the
common objectives for the organisation and employees.
Communication skill: if the human resource doesn’t have this skill in them it might be
possible to having more conflvts in the organisation and confusion will be ore in between the
employees and management (Drury, M., Conboy, K. and Power, K., 2012). As the
communication can be both verbal and nonverbal. If the human resource will be focus only
on verbal communication and not to the nonverbal than a proper management will not be take
place.
Behaviour required in human resource professional:
Leadership: if the human resource professional behave as the leader in the organisations will
help to achieve the organisational objectives with the proper motivation and collaboration
among the team member can be transfer by the better style of leadership. But in whirlpool it
is not possible from the human resource mange to behave as leader in which so many
conflicts have been arise in the organisation.

the situation at that time human resource manage need to behave to adjust all the plans
according to the requirement of the organisation.

and develop a professional development plan.
As in the every organisation human resource will be key person who have the
different personal skill to bring the organisation in the systematic manner for the various roles
and responsibility perform in the organisations. If the proper auditing will be done of the

personal skill that will help to prepare the development plan in which the whirlpool will be
benefited in the future. If these plan will be excite well according to the analyse after that
human resource professional in the whirlpool. Following are the personal skills which are
necessary to analysis in the human resource professional such as:
Analysis of communication skills: as these the most important skill for the human resource
professional which they need to be improver in the organisation by the human resource in
which they can easily form the better presentation and speeches in the organisations. For the
whirlpool these the most common problem for them because of poor communication by the
management to inform employees about various strategies that are to be implement for their
sake of interest which can be meet mission and vision but human resource is not able
communicate in an effective manner. If the communication skills of the HR in whirlpool
should be more verbal in which the facial expression, gesture and posture will be not
considered(Erez, M., Lisak, A., Harush, R., Glikson, E., Nouri, R. and Shokef, E., 2013).
While in the non-verbal communication will give more understanding of the employee’s
problems in the organisation to solve the conflicts in the organisation.
Analysis of interpersonal skill: for the human resource manager of whirlpool it is a
weakness for them. As the interpersonal skill is the most important aspect in HR professional
which can be helpful in the day to day operation as well to give trainings for improvement in
the employees to develop them to achieve the organisational objectives. As the organisation
is suffering the problems to undesadt the problems of the employee beusye of the poor
interpersonal skill of HR which results to bring more adverse impact on the organisation as
well on employees
(Goodwin, N., Dixon, A., Anderson, G. and Wodchis, W., 2014). It is necessary to improve
the socla connection with one to one interacting with other individual in the organisation to
know about their needs and requirement from the organisation. So in the development it is
important to add this skill to take necessary step by the HR.
Analysis of Information and technology skill: it the most important skill for the HR
professional in the to take the effective operational task in the organisation for effective
resources they can be then software and application in the organisation used to manage the
activity (Amabile, T., 2012). If the HR is not able to work on the organisation system that can

In the organisation the most important activity is to give training to employees to
improve their skills. As the purpose of these training is to develop the individual learning as
well to organisation learning to make the balance between personal and professional life. But
the major difference between organisation and individual learning, training and development
have impact on the growth.
Organisation learning: as it refers to the learning which can be purpose to develop the
individual for achieve organisational task. The more organising learning gets to an individual
to bring the proper development and growth in professional career. It can be the on job or the
off job learning it depends on the management to give the learning on the basis of needs of
employees. But sometime organization learning is more costly and due to burden on the
management this type of learning to improve the efficiency in the individual career. That
make them more skilled for the particular software used in the organisation or the new
application launching are the main purpose for organisation learning.
While the individual learning will help to growth in the personal and professional career and
willingness to learn will bring for more development will help to get the better position in the
society. In the individual learning self goals are priority which is ha to be fulfils in any
manner. Individual learning outcomes can create more opportunity in the personal and
professional life.
Training: The motive for training is to develop specific skills and knowledge about the
particular fields. It can be effective on the basis of training knowledge and mode of training
given to the employees or individual. For the organisation training can be on the job and off
job training. In on-job training individual get the practical knowledge and different system of
the work (Woodcock, 2017). While the off job training can get from workshop or special
session on taken by the superior of the organisation. After training it may be possible to
measure the performance which can be negative or positive outcomes depends on the
effectiveness of training and delveer of training according to the employees need.
Development: if the training can be given than the development in individual in personal and
professional career will be take place. But the development can be overall development in
terms of beliefs; attitude and behaviour will cages in development. For the organisation

development of the employees need to meet different goals as well to make the identity in
society in front of friend and colleagues.

can remain additional development by continues learning.
The growth of team: In all associations group will be executed on the basis of individual
skill. If the recital of individual is not operative in the administration will harm the group
development (Hawkins, 2017). Thus continues learning remains greatest significant portion
in individual and specialized occupation. If the team spirit is better than possibilities of
individual learning will be more. Therefore it is significant in continues learning for actual
team development in organisation.
Retention: Human resource self-control and significant character in organisation. As they
require to retain the staffs to keep the equilibrium of labour in organisation (Mattarelli,
Tagliaventi, Carli and Gupta, 2017).The additional the continues learning spirit remain to
implement by organisation for worker will be appropriate fewer to dispensation the
employments and as human resource require to carry the well rules on behalf of to retaining
of member for instance existing knowledge in organisation through diverse individual. If the
