Chris Ball seems to ignore the current state of the economy and the inherent need to create new jobs for school leavers and graduates. is the 2004 Turner report still relevant?
I take the point about e-mails being 'flowery', but i am surprised that this is mainly being attributed to women. Over indulgence in workplace relationships normally determine tone and context of e-mails. I for one steer clear of work place relationships, hence keeping my e-mails clear, concise and to the point. I always ensure there is a brief salutation at the start and an effective sign - off at the end. Oh and I can't believe forgot to mention what happended this weekend......
After working in HR and recruitment for over seven years, it has become evident that there is no substitute for on the job experience. CIPD qulaification can be attained through study or by professional recognition of experience at a senior level. While study does offer a grounding and a basic understanding of HR principles, it also allows students to think reflectively about their own work and the work of others. Emphasis is also placed on the strategic aspect of HR and ensures practitioners think less like personnel officers and more like businees partners leading the organisation. While a CIPD qulaification should not be the only prerequiste of a senior role in HR, other business related post graduate qualifications should count such as an MA or MBA, which do not necessarily grant automatic CIPD accreditation. Let's keep the profession professional!
