Human Resource Management in the 21st Century

Life long learners and teachers!
HR frequently “manages up” in teaching the executive level as well as structuring organizational development activities to meet the future strategic need of the organization.

HRE’s do not and cannot always have the immediate knowledge; however they can be the knowledge broker and obtain the subject matter expert to engage either subordinates or executives.

My experience has led me to place great value in professional network organizations to increase my ability to know the SME of various areas.

My goal in our organization is to be a facilitator of knowledge transfer. Getting leaders to share what they know with others is a powerful way to change organizational culture.

I agree with Jean, networking is pivotal in this profession and understanding when to seek assistance if necessary. My goal is to become a HR professional, I have experience in coaching/mentoring, business: corporate and manufacturering, however, I find it a challenge to gain experience, i.e., systems, processes, area of focus, etc.

With only four years of HR experience, I consider myself an HR professional and teacher. I am constantly training/teaching managers regarding various HR legalities.
You must be current on all the latest issues. In HR we are the source of information and people come to us for answers. We must be in the know while the HR industry itself is constantly changing and evolving at a rapid pace, especially with the technology aspect with HRIS. I feel it’s very important to read HR news and keep updated with all the latest information.
Its also important for HR professionals to attend trainings in their field as well as strive for a PHR and/or SPHR certification. You can never have enough training or education in our field especially when it comes to computers and HRIS!

Thank you,

Rhonda

I feel that HR managers must obtain the knowledge first through continued education. By continuing education and consistently keeping up with all the information available on the web then we can become better “teachers” and assist our managers become more seasoned and mature in their positions.
