Measuring Human Resource Competencies, towars Effective Business Partnering, A Proposed Framework

Abstract

Human resource management has come a long way since its traditional inception as merely a personnel administration. With the advents of more complex business environment and more complex employee anthropology, human resource has gradually evolved from being a technical focus to one of a strategic role. Modern human resource management more than ever assimilated into the strategic management level and at the forefront of momentously mobilizing organization change. This paper discusses the aspects of modern human resource management and proposes a framework on how this modern trajectory of human resource management is quantified holistically. This paper argues the previous notions of personnel management is inadequate as they are not designed to engender strategic partnership. Using a modified Ulrich’s framework, this paper proposes a synopsis of a more comprehensive an unbiased and balanced model of assessment.
