Professional Area – Service Delivery and Information

I am aware of different self assessment tools and have the CIPD HR map very useful to complete. However in my present situation it has been a challenge to complete. I am currently working within the human resource environment however the role I have taken on is a new role to me where I am still being developed and trained in order to fulfil my role to my full potential making it hard to select the correct banding as it crosses over between bands. I don’t feel that it is very clear as to what band is relevant to your circumstances and after you have chosen your banding when completing the CIPD HR map, in order to start to complete the individual sections you are still asked questions which really are not valid to your band. It would be useful if when you choose your band the questions which are irrelevant are automatically not asked to you. As you will see above some of the behaviours I have scored well in however I have summarised the main areas within behaviour which will be the most beneficial.
