MGT2HRM Human Resource Management

Assessment Task:

This is an individual assessment task. The Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) is the national association representing human resource and people management professionals. AHRI have over 20,000 members throughout the world and provide education and training services in HR and people management and business skills. AHRI also organises world-class conferences which bring HR practitioners together and holds seminars and networking opportunities all over Australia. AHRI also sets standards through accreditation of HR qualifications at universities across Australia (including LaTrobe's HR degree), conducts research into people management practices, and assists governments in the development of policy and legislation that affects people at work. AHRI have released a 'Model of Excellence', which explains the capabilities and behaviours of an 'excellent HR manager'. This model provides a conceptual basis for the accreditation of HR practitioners and training offered by AHRI and universities. The model identifies 7 capabilities that are essential for HR practitioners (see httos://www.ahri.com.au/about-tic/model-of-excellence) These capabilities are being: o Business driven; o A strategic architect; o An expert practitioner; o An ethical and credible activist; o A workforce and workplace designer; o A cultural and change leader; and o A stakeholder mentor and coach.
In this assignment, you are to select three (3) of these capabilities and address the following (in your own words, with referencing as required): o What does this capability entail? o Why would it be important for a Human Resource Manager to have this capability? Draw on appropriate frameworks to support your arguments. o If you were applying for a graduate HR position, what evidence could you offer to show that you possess this capability? Draw upon your own experiences, whether it be your work, university life, home life, volunteering or sporting experiences. Please discuss each capability separately, under its own subheading. All reference material must be appropriately cited in the text of your assignment. Include a separate reference section that includes the full citation information. Follow the style guidelines for the Academy of Management Journal. Note that Wikipedia and similar websites are NOT acceptable sources for this assignment. Your Report must be typed and have standard margins on all sides. Double-spacing is preferred. The assignment is to be submitted in one document via the Assignment submission link in the LMS.
