Clarification
Hi All
Just need a clarification
Why do we refer to our fellows colleaugues who are in the HR Profession as "HR Professionals"? I mean, why the term "Professionals"?
Why do we always have to reiterate the term " Professionals"?
Do we call other functions also the same?
Marketing guy" Marketing Professional"
CA, Finance as " CA Professional or Accounts Professional"
Engineers as "Engineer Professional"

Or, are we scared that if we do not use the term "Professional" we will be sidelined and looked down upon

Regards

Re: Clarification
Dear Rishi,

Nice you have raised the issue. The term professional is used to cover the whole ambit of people in HR. Covering both who are into Service and those into consultancy.

Since this is a HR site we coin the term covering everyone. We also refer to the term professionals for Marketing and Finance.

For example if we addressing a gathering of Finance which include CA,CWA,CS,CFA and MBAs, we would definitely refer to the gathering as Finance professionals.

If you are addressing a group of people employed than you normally refer to them as Marketing Executives, HR Executives, Finance Executives etc.

In the end, for Engineers, CAs, Doctors the Professions are quite old and hence it is know by the name only, while HR is relatively a new discipline, same is the case with Multimedia.


Regards,
SC

Re: Clarification
I think by this term we give respect to our colleagues without differentiating under any circumstances.
