1.1 CIPD Profession Map: What it means to be an HR professional?
HRM professionals have the responsibility to operate the human capital in an
organisation. The functions of recruitment and selection is conducted by HR professionals.
The HR professional is responsible to look upon the benefits utilised by the employees in
terms of orientation, training and relative company benefits. Human resource is aimed to
plan, direct, execute, control and coordinate with the administrative functions creating a link
between the company objectives and employee performance (Mayo 2016).
With reference to the CIPD Profession map that refers to Chartered Institute of
Personnel and Development, Human resource practices have vivid significance. CIPD
professional map is a HR professional guide that represents the roles and functions of
employees at every level within an organisation. Apart from explaining the individual duties,
the map focuses on functions of teams. The map is used for planning and development at
different stages of the organisation that considers varying competencies and employee
behaviour (Wilson 2014).
The map architecture suggests ten professional areas, eight behaviours and four
bands and transitions of competence. The professional areas reflects activities to be done
and knowing the areas of HR at different professional competence bands. The following
figure is the dissection of the components of the HR professional CIPD map.
