    SHRM HR Competency Model

    The SHRM Competency Model identifies what it takes to be a successful HR professional—across the performance continuum; around the globe; and across all career levels, job roles and job functions. SHRM worked with HR professionals around the globe to create the model, which:

    • Defines the competencies and knowledge necessary for effective practice as an HR professional.
    • Supports HR practitioners in their career and professional development.
    • Helps organizations build approaches to identify and cultivate high-quality HR leaders, individual contributors and teams.

    The SHRM Competency Model provides the foundation for talent management throughout the HR lifecycle and helps organizations ensure that HR professionals are proficient in the critical behaviors and knowledge necessary to solve today's most pressing people issues and strategies.
