Dear Ms. Reddy,

Core HR means end-to-end HR activities, including recruitment, induction, training, payroll, statutory compliance, performance management system (PMS), employee relations, industrial relations (IR), and other activities. There is no difference between core HR and generalist HR. Core HR learning is not just observing your colleagues and learning things.

What, HR Journalist role? I haven't heard of such a thing so far. Is it Generalist or Journalist?

Interestingly, I am an HR Consultant and a journalist as well. I write for travel magazines, Hindu Metroplus, Biz magazines, and Ad media. I hope you have misunderstood the word pronunciation.

Dear Ms. Reddy,

There is a distinction between Core HR and Generalist HR.

Please note that it is "Generalist HR" and not what you mentioned as "Journalist HR."

I began my career as an HR Generalist and have 4.5 years of experience in that role.

In simple terms:

1) Core HR primarily focuses on Human Resource development, such as 80% HR activities, HR interventions, OD, etc., with the remaining 20% on routine HR activities.

2) HR professionals working as HR Generalists are versatile and proficient in a range of areas including HR, IR, legal/statutory compliances, etc. (Core HR accounts for only 40% here).

If you observe senior HR professionals in the industry, many started their careers as HR Generalists.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

In my view, both are the same. However, core HR is for the top level, and a generalist is for the executive level. The recent trends in HR are going towards various changes. If you look at IT companies, there are resource allocators whose profiles are entirely different from regular HR roles such as HR, IR, T&D, and liaising, which led to the term "core HR" coming into existence.

The difference between Core and the Generalist is in the way you see things and the maturity/current state of the organization. As the organization starts getting more mature in terms of HR practice, things which were core will start becoming non-core and hence become general activities that can be done easily.

In terms of practice, the Generalist role is when you do things that encompass a large gamut/range of activities, such as business HR roles, general support roles, etc.

Core HR is about conceiving and implementing strategies/policies/practices that create an impact on the way HR delivers its services or contributes to the effectiveness of the organization. These roles are more focused and involve deep thinking.

It looks like someone has advised you to shift from a "Journalist" role to core; therefore, you want to shift. My advice to you is to continue in your current role and understand the impact your role has on the overall HR service delivery to your organization. You still have miles to go before you get into a deep, impactful thinking role.
