Demands on HR increasing
• HR practices– Alignment with strategy (customers and investors)– Integration– Innovation
• HR department– Investors’ increased financial demands for organizational performance– Transaction work– Transformation work
• HR professionals– Require new competencies
Implications for HR
Human Resource Competency Study 8
Why is the HRCS important?
To respond to the increased demands, HR professionals must define, delineate, assess, and improve their performance against a set of specific competencies. Wanting to contribute is not enough. HR professionals need to know how to contribute.

Formation of the new Model
• Factor analysis was performed on 130 items to produce 6 domains • Factor analysis was performed on the items within each of the 6
domains to produce 21 sub domains or factors
HRCS 2007 Domains
Human Resource Competency Study 20
Naming of Domains and Factors
In naming domains and factors, the following were taken into account:
Each sub domain or factor begins with an action verb. These arespecific actions that, when rolled up, make that particular roleeffective.
Action
Each domain is a role that is fulfilled by an effective HR professional
Roles
We wanted to be able to link the past rounds with the present round, and therefore included similar words in the names where possible.

Differences in Perspective
• Engaging customers– Showed up in the last round as market-driven connectivity – Seen by non-hr raters as an important competency of HR professionals, while
within HR, this was not shown to be significant.
• Designing rewards systems– Showed up in the entire dataset as well as the non-hr rater dataset.– In the entire dataset, these items showed up under ‘Operational Executor– For the non-hr rater dataset it factored under Talent Manager / Organization
Designer.
Differences in factor analysis between entire dataset and non-HR associate dataset resulted in two additional factors:

Human Resource Competency Study 36
Credible Activist
The HR professional is both credible (respected, admired, listened to) and active (offers a point of view, takes a position, challenges assumptions). Some have called this HR with an attitude.
HR professionals who are credible but not activists are admired, but do not have much impact. Those who are activists but not credible may have ideas but will not be listened to.

Culture and Change Steward
The HR professional recognizes, articulates, and helps shape a company’s culture. Culture is a pattern of activities more than a single event. Ideally this culture starts with clarity around external customer expectations (firm identity or brand), then translates these expectations into internal employee and organization behaviors.
As stewards of culture, HR professionals respect the past culture and also can help to shape a new culture. They understand and can apply the tools of organization change, which always has cultural implications. They coach managers on how their actions reflect and drive culture; they weave the cultural standards into HR practices and processes; and they make culture real to employees

Talent Mgr. / Org. Designer
The HR professional masters theory, research, and practice in both talent management and organization design. Talent management focuses on how individuals enter, move up, across, or out of the organization. Organization design focuses on the structure, governance, and processes that shape how an organization works.These organizational actions form an organization’s capabilities, or what the organization is good at and known for. HR professionals should bring relevant and proven concepts and tools to these HR practice areas. HR is not just about talent or organization, but about the two of them together. Good talent without a supporting organization will not be sustained and a good organization will not operate without good talent.

Operational Executor
The HR professional administers the day-to-day work of managing people inside an organization. Policies need to be drafted, adapted, and implemented. Employees also have many administrative needs (e.g., to be paid, relocated, hired, trained, etc.)
HR professionals ensure that these basic needs are efficiently dealt with through technology, shared services, and/or outsourcing. This day-to-day work of HR ensures credibility if executed flawlessly and grounded in the consistent application of policies.

Business Ally
The HR professional contributes to the success of the business. Businesses work to succeed by setting goals and objectives that allow them to respond to external conditions. HR professionals contribute to the success of a business by knowing the social context or setting in which a business operates.
They also know how the business makes money: the value chain of the business (who customers are, why they buy the company’s products or services). A related area of knowledge is the value proposition of the business: how the business organizes resources to make money.

Common Profiling Questions
• Some of the questions in the survey do not apply to my job and industry. What do I do about them?
• My associates did not know how to answer all the questions
• Is this information valid? This is only a one-shot assessment and my associates work with me for a long time
• What about all the competencies that are not measured on this instrument?
Human Resource Competency Study 66
Do’s and Don’ts to reacting to data
• Do:– Learn from the instrument
– Be open to feedback
– Be willing to undergo self-examination
– Be willing to accept faults
– Read with a marker
• Don’t– Blame the instrument
– Be closed to new ideas
Human Resource Competency Study 67
Common problems with profiling
• Over-reaction
• Under-reaction
• Focus on the person not the process as the source of the problem
• Look only at time 1 data and don’t see the value of ongoing assessment
• Afraid of change
Human Resource Competency Study 68
Findings
• Culture Steward– In the past, HR was subsumed under ‘strategic contribution’ or management of change. – HR’s ability to define, create, manage, and change culture has become a unique source of
competence– May indicate a bit of a shift in how HR is viewed
• Rewards– HR professionals see reward activities into the day to day tactical items while non HR
associate raters see reward systems as connected to HR practices of talent manager and org developer
• Customer views of HR– Non HR associates believe that the external customer can and should be brought into the
HR work; HR associates and participants did not perceive this;– HR professionals need to pay more attention to the real, external customer and find ways to
bring them into the organization
• HR professionals more credible than they are business literate– Business literacy continues to lag other domains; even after all of the talk about being
business contributors, HR professionals are not there yet

Changing Business Context
Human Resource Competency Study 70
Findings (continued)
• Talent Manager / Organization Designer– Talent and organization are different but need to be connected.– It is not enough to get good people (ergo a danger of moving to human capital) without
organization that sustains it
• Stakeholders– HR departments know to involve stakeholders (employees, customers, investors,
communities, line managers) in their work more than they do it.– Investors and communities are the least involved in shaping HR
• Strategy and HR vs. Empirical HR practices– The more empirical HR practices (workforce scorecard, empirical research) are less well-
done than other HR areas.– HR strategy and strategic HR are being done. – When we began this work 20 years ago, we had to help companies come up with an HR
strategy and teach them how to do strategic HR
• HR practices that add value– Talent management practices are adding more value than compensation (consistent with
findings above
Human Resource Competency Study 71
Responses from HR
• Growing profession and number of HR professionals• Shifts in HR practices: Talent and organization, not just talent
– Talent: staffing, development, performance management, communication
– Organization: policies, governance, structure, processes, physical setting
• Shift in HR departments– Outsourced– Insourced: professional service firm model
• Shifts in expectations for HR professionals: now we’re “at the table” what do we do?
• Shifts in expectations for HR Departments

Hints for turning data into action
• Ask: What does it say?– Understand the question being asked– Look for things that stand out– Try to find patterns in the data– Look for differences in the data
• Ask: what does it mean?– See the implications in the data– Ask who would use this data for what decisions
• How could I use the data?– Determine next steps based on the data– Build an accountability system to track progress
