Intentional career pathing 

Having a rewarding HR career that stands the test of time never happens by chance or luck. You need to be intentional and strategic about the path you take to reach your goals. The first step is planning out your HR career path. 

You can use the HR Career Map tool to explore the many different possibilities you have when working in HR based on your competencies, interests, and goals. You can choose the HR role you’re in right now or interested in starting in, as well as the roles you’d like to move into in the future. The tool generates a customized career path based on your selections, including the expected salary for each role, the number of years it takes for you to go from one role to another, and the learning investment you need to make. 

If you’re not sure yet exactly what you want, or if you want to know more about different HR roles, you can simply click on any of the 54 roles available in the HR Career Map. The tool will show you detailed information about the role, including what it is, key responsibilities, required skills, recommended training programs, and relevant resources.

Accurate skills assessment 

To succeed in your HR career, you need to master five core HR competencies and specialize in at least one functional HR area. This means you need to be T-shaped. As a T-shaped HR professional, you’ll be able to navigate the rapidly changing world of work and drive business value across the full HR spectrum. You’ll have the skills to work more effectively and efficiently, collaborate better with those within and outside of your team, and enhance your impact on the organization and the workforce. 

If you’re not sure yet whether you possess a T-shaped skill set or if you want to understand better the competencies you’re lacking, our T-shaped HR Assessment is the perfect tool to get you the answers you need. It takes just 10 minutes to answer the questions and find out how your skills compare to those of your HR peers. Once you’ve completed the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report on how you score across the five core HR competencies and what you need to do to improve. This will help you better understand your development needs and build a learning path for yourself. 

Develop the skills you need to succeed 

In a fast-paced and ever-changing field like HR, your skill set needs to be the right combination of technical expertise, interpersonal skills, and strategic insight. You can choose from our 13+ certificate programs, 65+ courses and mini-courses, dozens of soft skills learning videos, and more to build the skill set you need to be effective, competitive, and invaluable to your organization. Whatever your upskilling need is, AIHR has something for you:
