Ep 26 – New Jobs Titles in HR: HRBP, CPO, & More
As HR’s role within an organization expands, so is the variety and types of job titles for human resources positions. For example, organizations within the technology industry are gravitating more towards new titles like Chief People Officer instead of the Chief HR Officer title or HR Architect. In Austin, where I live, I’ve seen a number of Chief Happiness Officers, but don’t the title of Chief fool you. The role in my experience seems to be a combination between HR coordinator and receptionist which is fine. It’s a role that is much needed. I just think the chief title might not be appropriate in many of these cases. I am happy to see companies focused on employee engagement and culture in this way.
One of our most popular resources on the Workology site is a list of common job titles within HR that also includes salary ranges and short summaries. I’ll include a link to our featured story on the transcript of this episode on Workology. The article is titled, The Complete List of HR and Recruiting Job Titles & Salaries.
What I find extremely interesting is that the variety in job titles isn’t just by industry but also by the size of the organization. For example, the job title, HR Business Partner or HRBP is relatively new on the scene having really gained traction over the last three years.
I wanted to share insights from a Workology Podcast interview with Marylene Delbourg-Delphis on the evolution of HR. It’s not just titles that are changing. How we support our organizations is evolving too.
Predicting the future is much harder than predicting the past right? So, what would happen to your run resource depends on the leadership of organizations.
The questions are How much do they value the workforce and are truthful about it. And when will boards start to hold up management accountable for the money wasted on poor people in management. And second is defense also the thought leadership. H.R. people and ability to force management to change. So I’m hopeful that.
HR representative just like other employees will be sick and tired of antiquated management practices.
HR would change because the majority of HR representative will be former millennials and those millennials or they operate under different communication and learning models. So for example millennials and after Generation Z learn how to play a video game in minutes while their parents need several hours to understand a manual and can’t be on play. I have a hard time believing that these millennials will be banned for your experience in earnest future employees while knowing that some skills could be gained in six months or less. They know better than their parents that getting ready for the future requires that all employees learn fast to adjust. So. predicting the future is hard. But there is one thing we can say is that revolutions whatever the domain always result from demographic pressures and it’s a good thing that the world has the pressures of Millennials and Generation Z.
Change within HR and the new strategic roles offer an opportunity to change the industry. And it is evolving. I really believe it is, but more slowly that I and others want. What job titles, responsibilities, and roles within HR do you see that are evolving?
