On what research was the HRPM based? We built the original version of the map through engagement with 36 organisations, 19 of whom operate in global markets. Approximately 1/3rd of the organizations consulted are headquartered outside the UK. In total, these organisations cover an employee base of over 3 million individuals. The research included a comprehensive review of documents on the HR profession such as CIPD, academic and practitioner research and publications, and organisation structure charts and competency frameworks (behavioural and technical).

...Activity One This report intends to help in the understanding of the CIPD Human Resource Professional Map (HRPM). The HRPM was designed by the CIPD with the intention of helping the individual develop themselves as a successful Human Resource Practitioner, whilst providing a guideline to businesses, big and small. It highlights the professions and behaviours needed in order to progress successfully up the career ladder. It is broken down in to two central cores. * The first core is Insight, Strategy and Solutions, this is where complete understanding of an organisation is needed, enabling the HR practitioner to have the ability to spot potential opportunities and act upon them. * The second core is Leading HR, here the HR professional will be required to act as a role model, working closely with the line managers and ensuring all company policies are adhered to. They are responsible for the contribution HR makes to an organisation, adding value where possible. People working within these areas are often known as generalist due to them having a wider more basic knowledge of HR within the organisation. As well as the two core professions the map is divided into a further eight Professional Areas that encompass all aspects of business needs. Once the two core areas have been established the next logical step would be to progress in one of the specialist areas. Each profession is broken down into four bands of professional competence.
