As a strategic partner, human resource professionals need to be knowledgeable of all aspects of the business they are working with. Human resource professionals are already knowledgeable of business organization and practices that boost worker productivity. By tailoring this knowledge to a specific business model, human resource professionals can market themselves as a valuable commodity to businesses.
As an employee sponsor, human resource professionals can appease workers by helping create a work environment that suits their needs and empowers their talents. Management and workers alike are grateful for a work environment that makes everybody more productive.
Lastly, as a change mentor, human resource professionals need to the people within an organization who are always focused on growth. The adage that if something is not broken you should not fix it does not need apply to human resource professionals. Thomas A Greaney, a leader in the industry for over twenty years, believes that human resource professionals can demonstrate value by assuming these roles.
