HR MANAGEMENT BASED QUESTIONS
Q1. Who are HR Professionals? What knowledge, skills and behavior are required of them?
Ans1. Human Resources are the professionals who are responsible in driving the culture of the organization, sourcing talented and skilled resources for the project teams, screening and selecting the right prospective employees, motivation the workforce and enhance the productivity through effective performance management system. The are like an intermediary between the top management and employees at the ground in order to drive required changes to pivot the organization.
In the golden words of Albert Einstein, "Once you stop learning, you start dying". There are important skills that are required to flourish in this profession. Combing the knowledge and behavior with skills can differentiate a successful HR professional from a mediocre one. Knowledge about how an organization works, important laws and
regulations of the country and how to motivate workforce to gauge their actions to derive ultimate goals of the business.
Analytical Skills – People analytics is a field that is really been emerging as a strongest domain in last years. Today, there are lot of tools that generate tremendous amount of data. By the developing analytical skill, I would be able to clear the noise from information and derive insights into the data. This skill plays an essential role in providing the senior leaders critical information such that they can take informed decisions. For instance, how are the top-performers of the company, which employees might leave the organization in coming few months, what are the gaps between the skills required by the business as well as skill possessed by the employees, how to enhance the productivity of the business.
Negotiation Skills – Another critical skill that, as a HR manager one needs to develop is strong negotiations skills. Negotiation is more of science than an art by the virtue of which one is able to comprehend the interest and want of the other party involved. This allows the HR to comprehend what would motivate the other party such that the overall decision shits in the area that matters the most to the management. Indeed, this skill also develops the leadership skill that is critical in this VUCA world, an acronym that stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
Interpersonal and Communication Skills - A strong hold on communication plays a fundamental role in business, yet in addition in regular day-to-day existence and being a HR specialist expects you to be an ace communicator and moderator. An essential capacity of a HR proficient is to encourage correspondence between the association and its representatives. This implies you should depend intensely on your composed and oral relational abilities to get messages over all levels. Primary requirement of developing strong communication skills includes ability to exchanges messages, persuade others and convince, and above all, motivate the employees to achieve desired results.
Q2. What do you understand by a Skills Audit? What role does it play in the personal and professional development of an employee?
Ans2. Process that is leveraged by the organization to identify the key skills required in the business and current skill of their work-base. Comprehending the gaps in skill, essentially the difference between what is required with that of what is presently available in the organization. This entire process of gauging the gaps in the skill in the organization is called as Skill Audit. This process plays a crucial role in designing and defining required trainings in the organization that can make the employee equipped with required skills to perform better at work. This need analysis also help the employees at personal level as well since it provides the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and develop new skillset that are trending in the market.
Q3. What is a Personal SWOT Analysis?
Ans3. A Personal SWOT analysis is an important framework that evaluate individual's situation by comprehending the Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. It provides a complete knowledge of strength of the individual and areas which are weakness for him/her so that he can improve on such areas. This framework also provides area of development that can enhance one's career as well as areas that can be harmful for individual's growth. Thus, it is a powerful planning tool that can provide all-around knowledge about individuals growth with respect to the career aspiration one possess.
Q4. What do you understand by CPD?
Ans4. I understand that CPD is actually plan for development in professional career. It is called Continuing Professional Development defining necessary skills, knowledge and training required by an individual to prosper in a particular career. This plan documents the trainings, skills and knowledge with respect to time such that an individual is able to gain in-depth understanding of the particular profession with actionable knowledge. Therefore, CPB is a complete document that records everything necessary to step up in the skills with time as well as experience of learning and applying the knowledge.
Q5. What is a Personal Developmental Plan?
Ans5. A Personal Developmental Plan as the name suggest is a plan one requires to develop in order to realize the desired objective. PDP incorporates one's aspiration, strength, core competencies, academic qualifications and trainings. This plan is a step by step chart for an individual to achieve required skills, trainings and certification in order to achieve their goals. Essentially, core objective of PDP is to enhance the ability of the individual to comprehend what and how they are gaining new knowledge, learning and reviewing. By the virtue of this plan, one take the ownership of their own performance like becoming confident as well as more effective.
Q6 Why is it important to evaluate and reflect on a PDP?
Ans6. Importance of PDP is that it provides necessary framework, which would help one to identify the action areas to be taken in the consideration for achieving the required goal. Along with highlighting the strengths and weakness, this plan also helps in tracking the achievement of imperative trainings and skills required to achieve the defined aspirations and goals. There is requirement of regular evaluation of PDP with time and objective that is defined at the beginning. This plan like any other plans is required to be consistently monitored as per the action one take in order to develop skills as per PDP.
