vir·tu·o·so /ˌvɜrtʃuˈoʊsoʊ/ Show Spelled [vur-choo-oh-soh] Show IPA noun,plural-sos, -si /-si/ Show Spelled[-see] Show IPA, adjective
–noun
1.a person who has special knowledge or skill in a field.
2.a person who excels in musical technique or execution.
3.a person who has a cultivated appreciation of artistic excellence, as a connoisseur or collector of objects of art, antiques, etc.
The definition to me exemplifies the HR professional. I have always seen HR as more of an art than a science. We are taught the methodology and best practices and we then apply them to various situations. More often than not each situation and each day is different.
Like an orchestra HR teams put on a symphony each day carefully maneuvering and delicately balancing people management, legal compliance and working to meet organizational goals. The stage is set and the demands are high on each HR professional but we meet the challenge everyday. We are connoisseurs of the field with a thirst for continued development and process improvement.
Being an HR Virtuoso means you strive for excellence in your departments and accept nothing less from yourselves.
