How should I read the map?
You ‘read’ the map from the bottom left corner to the top right corner.
On the left side and at the bottom you will find the most junior HR roles distributed across the three role families, in the top right corner are the most senior HR roles.
What data is this based on?
Salary data is based on combining information from Glassdoor.com and Payscale.com.
Timeline projections are based on data gathered from industry experts and their experience.
I can't select all roles
The roles on the HR career map are categorized across 5 levels. While mapping your career, you can’t skip a level, and also will not be able to go back to a more junior level. Lateral moves within the same level are permitted.
Depending on the selected role, roles at the same level + the next level will become available.
How will this help me?
New roles and career paths are constantly popping up in HR.
We designed the HR career map for you to get a comprehensive overview of all the opportunities out there. This enable you to make the best informed decision about your next career move and further career path.
As a manager, you can share the map with your people to help them understand what their career in HR could look like and discuss specific career opportunities.
Which roles have strategic impact?
The Strategist profile refers to roles that take accountability for people, HR or functional strategies e.g. Remuneration or Organizational Development strategies as core to the role. The roles that do not fall within the strategist profile are still of strategic importance and could be involved in strategic work, yet their main focus or contribution are a better fit to some of the other profiles.
