The fourth program of the series of

Model was held on 22nd to 24th October
2007 in Mumbai. Dr. Premarajan, Professor
OB & HR, and XLRI Jamshedpur facilitated
these three-day programs. Mr. G P Rao, Vice

the importance of CII, NHRDN and XLRI to
work as a team for developing the HR
Competency Assessor Model. . Mr. Arvind
Agarwal President HR, RPG shared his

The competitive pressures in the
environment have radically altered the
context in which Human Resource services
are delivered in Indian Organizations. With
the focus moving towards integrating HR into
strategic planning of the organization, the
challenges before the HR profession have
become even more daunting as neither the
tools/techniques of HR nor the profile of the
professionals who deploy these, have
undergone a Corresponding transformation.
The HR Competency Model captures the
range of competencies required to play the
multiple roles of HR. These have been
organized in terms of Technical vs.
Behavioral and Functional vs. Generic
classification. There are 17 Competencies
and these are classified as shown below:
Functional Technical
l HR Planning and Staffing
l Performance Management
l Training and Development
l Talent Management
l Compensation and Benefit
l Managing Culture, Design & Change
l ER and Labour Laws
l Building HR Strategy
l International HRM
Functional Behavioral
l Service Orientation
l Personal Credibility
l Execution Excellence
Generic Behavioral
l Strategic Thinking & Alignment
l Change Orientation
l Networking Management
Generic Technical
l Business Knowledge
l Financial Perspective
Having developed a model consisting of
competencies required transforming the HR
Function; the next critical step is to evolve a
comprehensive mechanism to assess these
competencies. It is imperative for both the
HR professionals as well as their HR
organization, to know where they stand in
terms of the necessary HR competencies
required for organizational effectiveness.
Based on this analysis, competency gaps
will be identified and practical
recommendations will be made so that the
individuals as well as the organizations can
assess their own situation, take corrective
actions and better Prepare to meet the
future challenges that the profession will
face.
The workshops proved extremely
successful as a step towards the
overarching vision of this association is to
raise the standard of HR profession in India
in the lines of work by the Management
Charter initiative (MCI) or the National
Council for Vocational Qualification (NCVQ)
in the UK and the American Society for
Training and Development (ASTD) or the
Society for Human Resource Management
(SHRM) with the help of University of
Michigan, in the USA.
