One of the challenges for
professionals in the Human Resource field is effectively dealing with
ambiguity. Like management in general, not every situation will have
clearly defined “right” answer or solution to a problem. Therefore, HR
professionals often rely on their own personal judgment as well as applicable
company policies/procedures and applicable employment laws in order to resolve
situations in the workplace.
Given these considerations, students
will need to write a paper that includes:
1) Research on both the technical skills
(i.e. knowledge of employment laws, general business knowledge, etc.) and the
behavioral skills (i.e. judgment, communication, etc.) that would be important
for an HR professional to have.
2)
Your position on which type of skills are more important for HR
professional to have. For example, if
you were to hire an HR Generalist with two candidates to choose from, one
stronger in the technical skills and the other in behavioral skills, which would
person would you choose and why?
This paper should be
approximately 4 pages in length (not including the cover page and reference
page) and should be in APA format.
