How to Learn HR Skills On the Job

This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. If you are a seasoned HR professional or just starting your career, learning skills on the job will enrich your understanding of relevant HR concepts. Here are three ways to leverage your daily routine as a learning resource. Know where to direct your learning. As the saying goes, you don’t know what you don’t know. Self-assess or confer with your mentor or manager to help identify areas where you might improve or gain new skills. Refer to the HRCI Learning Center for additional resources. Connect concepts with actions. If there are concepts that you do not practice through your regular work, volunteer with other teams to help on a project that offers new skills. Reflect on what you have learned. Track your learning progress and goals on a regular cadence. Reflect on how the skills you have learned and the actions you have taken can connect to bigger HR concepts.  This concludes your HR News Flash. HRCI prepares HR leaders for the digital age.
