HR

HR is the single most stimulating source of strategic, people-centric, business advice, practice and dialogue. For people-focused, forward-thinking, business leaders who want insight into, and examples of, business-contextualised HR to develop high-performing organisations. HR will always seek to give meaningful, relevant and useful business focus to its content. HR magazine does not provide you with 'same old story', but instead always looks to present information strategically.

It’s the age-old debate: do book smarts matter more than real-life work experience? Are HR qualifications a must-have for anyone wanting to progress – and get hired – in HR? And does the current range of training on offer truly address the changing demands of the people professions? 

 

Our cover story this month delves into all of these questions and more, interrogating the view expressed by one DEI consultant: “Qualifications equip professionals with baseline knowledge, but they can fall short in preparing leaders for more complex challenges.”

 

Featuring exclusive commentary from CIPD’s standards and professional development director, as well as a range of HR practitioners and consultants, this article focuses on one of the most directly relevant issues that impact a HR professional’s career.
