Today’s job seekers have access to more information than ever before. Therefore, the best HR
professionals must be prepared to meet these informed candidates with industry expertise of their
own. Understanding how and why individuals enter and move within an organization is at the
core of everything else you will do in human resources. HR managers who truly add value are
always attuned to “the big picture” of how HR practices relate to a successful business. Your
knowledge in this area needs to be greater than anyone else’s to support the objectives of
employees and employers alike. After all, HR management is not just about talent acquisition,
but also about retention.
Today’s business landscape is complex and in a state of constant flux. The field of HR is
dynamic and our ability to process and understand it needs self-motivation. Growing in your job
means being receptive to new ideas, wherever they may come from. Have you demonstrated a
commitment to ongoing learning by taking advantage of conferences, other colleagues in HR, or
graduate studies? HR professionals who never stop learning are well-positioned to translate well
thought out industry trends and data into actionable insights.
The primary function of the typical HR professional’s job involves facilitating discussion
between employees and employers. If a human resources manager can’t communicate clearly
they will not be successful. Both oral and written skills are required to effectively relay
information. One aspect of communication that gives people an edge is a strong ability for
conflict resolution. Even in the most agreeable workplaces, problems arise that need a diplomatic
ear, an eye for assessment, and a hand for getting the problem settled. This particular skill is
invaluable when negotiating solutions and keeping things on track.
Critical thinking is in the “sweet spot” of less common/more desired employed traits, according
to an analysis of the skills gap by Bloomberg. HR professionals, in particular, frequently need to
balance complex situations and take their time to think with a combination set-in-stone processes
and outside-the-box thinking. Employees come from a breadth and depth of backgrounds and
experiences. HR professionals need to strategically cultivate an environment in which all can
work together toward the improvement of the business.
HR management is a juggling act. The more organized you are, the better you’ll be able to stay
ahead of what you need to do and have time for things you would like to do. If you think
organization is something you either have or you don’t, think again. Organization can be honed
by understanding where you work, and doing a few things the same every day to build a routine.
While these six HR core competencies may seem like a tall order, they’re embodied by the best
HR managers in workplaces across the country. Great work experience can help, but that takes
time. A Master of Science in Human Resources Management helps develop all these skills
quickly. Not only will an advanced degree help you develop a richer understanding of how to be
a better HR leader, but you’ll learn how to apply these skills appropriately for success.
