...Developing Yourself as an Effective Human Resources or Learning and Development Practitioner Activity 1 * briefly summarise the CIPD Profession Map (i.e. the 2 core professional areas, the specialist professional areas, the bands and the behaviours) The CIPD HR Profession Map has been developed with the help of HR professionals around the world. Many organisations use the CIPD profession map to measure their HR capability, address areas for development, and to develop their employees within HR. The HR profession map is made up of ten professional areas, eight behaviours and four bands of professional competence (Bands and transitions.) The Professional areas describe the activities you need to undertake and what you need to know for each of the 10 professional areas at each band level (Levels 1 – 4.) There are two core professional areas; Leading HR, and Insights, Strategy and Solutions. The core areas are applicable to all HR professionals, even those just beginning of their HR careers. There are 8 further Specialist professional areas: Employee Relations, Service delivery and information, Organisation Design, Organisation Development, Resourcing and Talent Planning, Learning & Development, Performance and reward, Employee Engagement and Employee relations. The behaviours describe the 8 key behaviours each HR professional needs to be successful within their role. Each behaviour is described across each of the band levels.

...case of Toronto Marlboro Major Junior "A" Hockey Club et al. v. Tonelli et al. to “test” the minors contract were as follows: I ask whether a prudent and informed parent of a 17-year-old young man who wished to become a professional hockey player, having in mind the realities of the world around him, would approve of this contract. I believe he would. It is true that the contract in this case could have been more beneficial to the infant and the scale could have been tipped more in favour of the infant but that is of little import. It also may not be desirable that member teams of the O.H.A. Major Junior League should occupy such a preferred position as vehicles of entry to the ranks of professional hockey but that too is of little import. It was this specific contract that was available to the infant in this case. The choice was to accept it or go elsewhere and that fact must be given appropriate weight. I do not believe that it could be realistically said that it would have been in the best interest of Tonelli to go elsewhere. The dissent by Mr Justice Zuber; who felt the defendant had breached his contract, based his decision on this critical question; In September of 1974, was it in the beneficial interest of the 17- year-old John Tonelli to enter into this agreement with the Toronto Marlboros? Zuber came to the conclusion that this young man wished to be a professional hockey player and even though he had before him the opportunity of binding himself to a fairly long...
