Human Resource Competencies

Human resource competencies serve as a guide for professionals, as effective employees continually work to grow and further develop their proficiency of competencies. From entry level employees to human resource executives, it is important for professionals to demonstrate the qualities necessary for success in their position within their organization. For this Assignment, you examine your own proficiency of human resource competencies.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the "Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Competency Model" in the Learning Resources.
• Assess your proficiency for two or more competencies. What is your greatest strength? In what areas could you improve?
• Analyze the competencies you selected. How do they relate to health care organizations striving for a culture of excellence? How might gaining proficiency of these competencies better enable you to personally contribute to organizational excellence, including effectiveness and success in health care administration?
