Application for Certification
https://gafm.com.my/application-for-certification/
A Human Resources Manager, or HR Manager is responsible for coordinating all administrative activities related to an organization's personnel. Their duties include developing recruitment strategies, implementing systems for managing staff benefits, payroll and behavior and onboarding new employees.
The Master HR Manager would have a seat at the executive table (senior management) and be seen to be an equal partner in making strategic decisions about the business. They would be making contributions to organizational design, strategy development and planning and organizational change. There would be substantially spent less time on a maintenance role for example, hands-on recruitment, maintaining services and records, and auditing. The distinction can be drawn between being reactive and being strategically responsive both leading and following. At senior levels, Master HR Managers are proactive.
They influence those who make the business strategies, working alongside or as part of the business planning team to develop strategies together. Master HR Managers need a good understanding of the business and its changing context. They need to be clear about the organization’s goals, needs, values; aware of gaps in culture and capability; to be able to translate business goals into operational strategies.
They need to be able to influence decision makers. Good negotiation and interpersonal skills, as well as resilience, may be required. Master HR Managers are often described as ‘knowledge rich’ but poor in application. Being strategic alone is not enough. Chief Executives want Master HR Managers to be able to translate the organizational issues into business language, and vice versa. They need Master HR Managers to help them understand what must be done with regard to people if business strategies are to be achieved.
Some of the key functions of the Master HR Manager are:
Strategic planning
Organizational development and design
Improving organizational productivity and quality
Facilitating mergers, acquisitions and partnerships
Scanning the environment for new products/potential new partnerships
Recruitment and selection; strategy rather than implementation
Employee development; training/education; management development; performance appraisal; career planning; competency/talent assessment; strategy and advice on these areas
Compensation and benefits; reward and recognition initiatives; retirement programmes; redundancy programmes
Management of HR information systems
Responsibility for legal and regulatory requirements
Responsible for equal opportunities policy and practice
The difference between an operational HR role and a Master HR Manager goes beyond changing job descriptions to looking more carefully at the skills required and the capacity for individuals to influence change at a strategic level.
Strategic Human Resources Management
Strategic human resources management involves a future-oriented process of developing and implementing human resources (HR) programs that address and solve business problems and directly contribute to major long-term business objectives.
HR management has changed dramatically in recent decades. It was once largely an administrative function focused on day-to-day responsibilities such as employee recruiting and selection and managing employee benefits. Changing labor market conditions and new business thinking call for HR business strategies that include recruiting and retaining the right people, as well as providing ethical and cultural leadership.
Strategic planning presents great challenges and opportunities for Master HR Managers. Nearly all HR leaders in the largest global companies are involved in strategic decision-making and participate on the organization's strategy team, and a majority of Master HR Managers report that strategic planning is part of their function. In contrast, Master HR Managers in many medium and small organizations are not often involved in organizational or functional strategic planning. Consequently, to achieve long-term strategic HR objectives and to be a key player in the organization's strategic planning process, some HR departments may need to overcome stereotypical negative views of the HR function.
HR's role includes developing a plan of HR initiatives to achieve and promote the behaviors, culture and competencies needed to achieve organizational goals.
Human Resources and Organization Business Strategy
The closer the alignment between human resources (HR) and an organization's overall business strategy, the better the company's ability to anticipate and respond to customer needs and to maintain competitive advantage. Rigorous research, planning and development involving workforce culture, behaviors and competencies promote the successful execution of business strategy.
Particular benefits of HR strategic planning include the following:
Avoiding costly and disruptive surprises that interfere with achieving goals.
Addressing key issues in a timely manner to avoid crises.
Promoting employee productivity and overall organizational success.
Providing a sense of direction to positively affect how work gets done.
Keeping employees focused on organizational goals.
Providing a strategic focus to guide training and development initiatives.
Giving leaders tools to help focus and implement their strategic initiatives.
Master Human Resources Manager - Skills & Qualifications
Business partners obviously form the bulk of those working in a close relationship with managers, but there are also those in the corporate office, including the HR director himself/herself, who may need the same skill set. At a generic level Master HR Managers will need a number of competencies:
communicating
facilitating
coaching
influencing
interpersonal
negotiating
However, they will have to be deployed in a particular context. This includes operating as a broker of HR services in the matrix structure, described earlier. This will test negotiation skills, and political skills will again be demanded: balancing corporate and local needs, satisfying both to the extent that is possible. Given, too, that Master HR Managers will be part of a team, relationship building is important. They may have to act as a coach to senior management, not just in advice and guidance on people's practices, but also on a one-to-one basis, providing feedback and support. HR also has to have the ability to influence without formal authority. They may not be in as much control of resources as past HR managers, but they must know how to influence the top team. And, as we pointed out earlier, Master HR Managers will need to be aware of the power dynamics. They will have to be capable of mobilizing those in favor of their views and dealing with those against them. Business partners will require well-honed political antennae, able to pick up signals of support or opposition. They will know the method to choose to achieve their objectives. This will be true not just in relation to dealing with business colleagues directly, but also in the interrelationship between HR and business management.
None of these competencies should be new to HR managers, but, because Master HR Managers are supposed to operate in a strategic manner, they will have to demonstrate a high level of ability. What, according to some of our respondents, may be more challenging to Master HR Managers is to use effectively the data emerging from improved management information systems. They will have to be sufficiently numerate to understand what can be done with statistics. They will have to be good at diagnosis: spotting trends, seeing issues from a variety of sources, and making connections in a broader integrative way. By that, we suggest examining whether the organization is growing human capital by improving the skills and engagement of staff or allowing it to depreciate. They will have to connect the data to their employment model of what drives high performance through people. A good analysis then needs to be turned into action.
Individuals will need the qualities to perform a survey of the problem from a distance, yet dive into the detail, if necessary, the ability to Analyze, a sense of Imagination and a sense of Reality so those good ideas are well-grounded in what will work in practice. All of this takes place in a business context. So, knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the business are vital. This is likely to mean being at ease with financial, marketing, sales and production terminology, and issues. Problems will have to be discussed in the language of business, not in HR-speak. The latter can put offline colleagues with their particular terminology. And this should be tailored to the particular audience. Some managers want hard, precise, data-driven arguments. Others want to be convinced at the intellectual level. But both want their problems solved in business not HR terms.
Master HR Managers need to be able to act as internal consultants, working with line managers in problem-solving ways, concentrating on reality, demonstrating business acumen and ensuring that HR and business goals are the same. They need to be externally focused, in touch with current thinking, have extensive networks and be able to apply insights gained practically. They need to be able to work effectively with colleagues in shared services and centers of excellence, ensuring the highest-quality client delivery.
The Master HR Manager should be self-motivated, extremely organized, and have strong communication and project management aptitude. Employers typically seek candidates with a bachelor’s degree preferably in human resources, business administration, or equivalent, and the following skills:
Human Resources – Master HR Manager needs a strong understanding of human resources management.
Strategic Planning – ability to establish the alignment between HR and an organization's business strategy
Project Management –know how to scope a project and create work schedules to ensure strategic HR projects are implemented within the timeframe and budget allotted
Teamwork & Collaboration – interact effectively with cross-functional team members and external stakeholders at various levels of responsibility
Analytical skills – high levels of analytical skills and problem-solving skills are critical to the performance of this role
Communication Skills – strong verbal and written skills to provide reports to clients and stakeholders as well as articulate complex solution to C-level executives
Computer Skills – usage of computer software to produce visual presentations
Leadership is a management approach in which leaders help set strategic goals for the organization while motivating individuals within
