What does good HR look like? 30 different HR models

What does good HR look like?

HR is a young profession. The profession loves processes and frameworks. Of course there are also many frameworks that outline what good HR should look like. For this overview we collected around 30 of them.

30+ different HR models

AHRI/1

Many models are related to the work of Ulrich and Brockbank. “Credible Activist” is certainly one of the competency areas out of their kitchen.

AHRI/2

Most of the models reflect the “rounded HR professional” as the ideal. This is one of them.

AIHR

The rounded HR generalist masters at least these 12 skills. Sense of humour is not one of them, or isn’t that a skill?

Jeroen Andreae

“Overall you were one of the best candidates, but we have some doubts about your ambidexterity”. The meaning of the dotted lines is not so clear to me.

ATD

A model focused on talent management of the ATD.

CIPD

Some clear thinking has gone into this CIPD model. First time in this collection we see “curious”.

Concordia St. Paul

Always true.

Creative

Nine competency areas, interestingly arranged anti-clockwise.

CSG

The “Paradox Navigator” is another great invention of Ulrich c.s. Sounds better than “Dilemma Reconciliator”.

“Karen, can you explain the Schippmann model to me?”.

SHRM

Solid models from SHRM.

South African HR competency model

The colours and the shape are great!
