HR Professional map
The Human Resource Professional map is a document that arrays information on the
social roles, responsibilities and activities of human resource experts all levels of their
occupation (In Stewart & Cureton, 2014). The map encompasses ten aspects on their profession,
eight behavioral issues and four stages of transition from the lower level to the most senior
positions. This document is versatile to all human resource experts from all around the world and
in all types of organizations.
Role and band
I currently work as an initial assessor in a refugee and migrant center in Great Britain and
as well assist in various roles in the human resource department. Some of the behavioral areas
that I need to embrace to carry out my activities as the human resource assistant are curious, a
critical thinker, an accomplished influencer, credible, cooperative, determined to deliver, the
courage to contest and be a role model (Armstrong & Taylor, 2017). I am in the level one stage
where I provide support to the existing experts in this field. However, I am in the process of
learning since I feature myself in the highest level as an executive.
I do not have a senior role in the most human resource processes but, I provide customers
with service related information. I would like to be involved in the process of organizational
development, resourcing and talent planning areas of profession since both are involved in the
success and future of the organization.
My Professional Area
1. Organization development- to ensure that the organization has a dedicated and loyal set
of staff to ensure that organizational objectives are achieved (Sanghi, 2016).
2. Learning and development - where all the people in the organization possess and develop
their skills, knowledge, and expertise to achieve the overall ambitions of the organization
(In Carbery & In Cross, 2015).

My development behaviors
1) Courage to challenge – I tend to walk away and avoid confrontational conversations in
any given circumstance and always shy away from being questioned especially by my
seniors.
2) Curious – many times, I take the information given to me at face value and do not
question areas that I need clarity.
HR skills and knowledge
I possess some of the HR related skills and knowledge in the area of training delivery. I
communicate effectively in such a way that I can express ideas well.
