Nine Qualities all HR Professionals Should Have :-
1) Clarity of Thoughts – In most of the situations and circumstances, we come across two options;
either we want to do or we don’t want to do; either we agree to it or we don’t agree to it; either it is
acceptable or it is not acceptable; either you want or you don’t want.
2) Efficiency in Time Management - HR professionals is expected to be efficient in time
management. They are expected to set time-frame and meet those expectations. Most of the time, I
have seen that they don’t give any time limit.
3) Compare Performances / Compare Situations & Circumstances but do not compare
individuals / People – Knowingly or unknowingly but quite often, instead of Circumstances and
Situations, we tend to compare two different people. Instead of analyzing the behavior of a person
we tend to analyze them as an individual and take this as our right. The very basic principle of
science and management says that no two individuals are same.
4) Knowledge about the Business and Industry – Everybody should be aware of their strengths
and weaknesses. They should be aware as what they want in their life and career. It is a well known
fact and has been proved in various surveys that HR professionals don’t care to understand the
business of the company and the industry that they are working in.
5) Vision and Goal for the Department, Team and Organization – What you want to do for the
organization? Are you planning to implement a competitive compensation plan? Do you want to take
your company in the bracket of 25 “Best Employers in the Country”? Are you planning to acquire best
of the talent from market? Do you think that you need to control the growing Attrition Rate of your
company? Have you thought about “Organization Development” and “Talent Management”? Usually,
that is the confusion. HR professionals and HR heads don’t have that vision. They want to do
something in HR but don’t know what they can do or should do.
6) Love for Number / Data / Figures / Calculations / Analysis / Projections – You talk to
any person in any other profession and tell them that you are in HR; two things will automatically flash
in their mind – Theory and Politics. One reason why HR professionals in India have not been able to
enter into the Board Room and make their presence felt in the organization is because though they have
ideas, they have strategies and policies but they are not able to support those strategies with data. (It is
because there is no mathematics and calculations involved in this subject that many people [mostly
females] love to join this profession).
7) Enthusiasm to Share / Develop / Coach and Mentor – We have heard and read in our schools
and colleges that “Knowledge is a wealth; the more you distribute/share the more you gain”. In this
profession of HRM & D; we are privileged and are in a very unique position where we can develop
people.
8) Self Discipline – This again is a common quality that everyone should have, irrespective of their
respective professions, but it is more appreciable in HR Professionals and is like a must have. They need
to set standards for others to follow; they need to benchmark their own behavior and if they start
flowing with water, everything else will go for a toss and things will go out of control.
9) Trust Worthy – This is very important quality and must have for all HR Professionals. Candidates, at
the time of interview share important information with HR; Employees share lots information, personal,
professional, ideas, suggestions, future related, dreams etc. |
