That means that if this position is vacant, it would have a significant impact on the organisation. While it has been identified that there is no shortage of Human Resources professionals, it is considered that the specialized nature of human resources within the College means it would be preferable to develop the talent from within. A current employee, Jackie Smith, has been identified as an employee with potential for the role. Jackie has recently returned to the workforce and is working in an administration role. However, prior to leaving the workforce to bring up her children, Jackie was working in a human resources officer role. Jackie applied for the administration position as she only wanted to work part-time. However, it has been identified over time that Jackie may like to move into a full-time position, and it has identified that she has the potential to do this. Jackie has recently completed a self-assessment against a Role Competencies Statement in order to identify areas that she would need to develop in. |
