Introduction

Nhs European

To work in any profession, one should not only have "Subject Matter Expertise" but also personality, behavior, decorum, mannerism, attitude, pro approach, and mental to work efficiently and to preserve in that given profession. Failing which, irrespective of your knowledge, education and background you will never be able to grow in that profession. This is also true for Hr Profession. There are some minimum expectations from Hr Professionals, in the way they carry themselves, behave and present themselves that can hamper or lift their image and pro graph. Some of those traits and attributes I have mentioned in this article. Though, to a large extent I have covered all the attributes but still I reconsider this list as Inclusive and not Exclusive. The need is to benchmark your Personality and Behavior. Respect can only be earned and not "asked for".

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 proper or it is not acceptable; either you want or you don't want. It has been seen that many Hr Professionals are confused. They are not clear, where they want to take their company. They don't know what role they like to play in the organization. They don't have clarity of role. They don't have clear expectations, neither from themselves, or from their team or from their internal customers (employees). With this confusion, they fail to take decisions. They fail to take stand.

2) Efficiency in Time administration - Hr professionals is startling to be efficient in time management. They are startling to set time-frame and meet those expectations. Most of the time, I have seen that they don't give any time limit. You approach them for any work and they sass by saying, "Ok, it will be done". But when? I agree that "Good Hr Professionals" have many things to do. Recruitments, employee Relations, Talent Management, work Development, Benchmarking, etc are the things, which takes lots of time. But, all goals, all dreams, all activities, all commitments looks good and are achievable, if there is a windup date for that. For Example, I want my enterprise to be in top-10 fellowships in the world. It's a Vision. It's a good dream. But, if I don't specify, by which year or in how many years, I want to perform that goal, it will only remain as a dream and will never become a reality. Uncertainty, Ambiguity, Open-Ended commitment, Confusion, these are things, that are not startling from any Hr Professional.

3) Compare Performances / assess Situations & Circumstances but do not assess individuals / habitancy - Knowingly or unknowingly but quite often, instead of Circumstances and Situations, we tend to assess two dissimilar people. Instead of analyzing the behavior of a someone we tend to analyze them as an private and take this as our right. The very basic principle of science and administration says that no two individuals are same.

4) Knowledge about the enterprise and commerce - 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 discrete surveys that Hr professionals don't care to understand the enterprise of the enterprise and the commerce that they are working in. According to the recognize done by Virgin administration Consultancy 67% Hr Professionals in Usa and 83% Hr professionals in India do not know the nitty-gritty of their company's business. They don't know from where the income is coming. They don't know the enterprise model of their company. I think, as it is leading to know about the city and country that you are traveling to; it is equally leading to know and understand the enterprise of the enterprise that you are working with.

5) Vision and Goal for the Department, Team and society - What you want to do for the organization? Are you planning to implement a contentious payment plan? Do you want to take your enterprise in the bracket of 25 "Best Employers in the Country"? Are you planning to fetch best of the talent from market? Do you think that you need to control the growing Attrition Rate of your company? Have you opinion 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. They should have foresight for the society from Hr perspective and goals for their group and team. It's a must have. Until and unless you are sure about your destination, you cannot take the path.

6) Love for number / Data / Figures / Calculations / analysis / Projections - You talk to any someone in any other profession and tell them that you are in Hr; two things will automatically flash in their mind - ideas and Politics. One presume why Hr professionals in India have not been able to enter into the Board Room and make their presence felt in the society is because though they have ideas, they have strategies and policies but they are not able to preserve those strategies with data. (It is just because of the fact that there is no mathematics and calculations involved in this subject that many habitancy [mostly females] love to join this profession).

Just to substantiate my point that most females are not good with Mathematical and Statistical calculations and that is one of the key presume for them to join the profession of Hr.

In a recognize done by Virgin administration Consultancy, in 67 cities across the world in which they covered following geographical areas:
Asia,
North America,
Uk,
Europe and
Australia.
They interviewed 11, 500 Hr Professionals. The seeing are as follows:

56.7% of total recruitment professionals are females.

79.4% of total trainers and "Organization Development" professionals are females.

39.1% of total Hr strategists are females. They look after Hr Policies, Procedures, Processes and forms

However, only 2.6% of females are working in payment and Benefits group of division.

8.9% females are working in Legal compliancy Team.

3.2% females are handling the payroll, investment advisory desk and tax advisory desk of their organization.

11.5% females are working in Hr Operations, thereby handling execution Management, Time Office, work development and Talent Management.

18.7% females are working as Hr Analysts.

It is proved from the above data and figures that most of the females are working in those functions of Hr which doesn't involve complicate mathematical and statistical calculations.

For example, if I have a "Retention Strategy" and I want to implement in the organization. I need to show, how much the implementation of that strategy will cost; by what percentage the enterprise will be able to growth the employee keeping and decrease the attrition; which are the fellowships that are using this particular strategy and how efficient it has been in their cases. If, I am going with this data, calculation and analysis, I am sure that my strategy will be discussed and implemented.

Hence, Hr professionals need to be more analytical, data oriented and good in calculations. They should not be subjective and ideas oriented.

7) Enthusiasm to Share / design / 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 design people. We can design their career. We can design their life. We can help them in changing their perception and behavior. We can groom them, so that they can be thriving in their life. Don't you think that we have very leading and crucial role to play?? How many of us have truly opinion in these lines? Do, think about it, you have one life, give what you can. If 10 habitancy will remember me once I bid adieu to this world for helping them in developing their life, I will reconsider my life as successful.

8) Self Discipline - This again is a coarse ability that everybody should have, irrespective of the profession they are in, but it is more appreciable in Hr Professionals and is like a must have quality. They need to set standards for others to follow; they need to benchmark their own behavior and if they start flowing with water, all else will go for a toss and things will go out of control. I have heard, habitancy saying that I am doing this or that because others are also doing it but that is not startling from Hr Professionals. Discipline in life is a must to grow, prosper and being successful. So, set standards and don't just flow.

9) Trust Worthy - This is very leading ability and must have for all Hr Professionals. Candidates, at the time of interview share leading facts with Hr; Employees share lots of information, personal, professional, ideas, suggestions, time to come related, dreams etc. Imagine, if the Hr pro keep sharing that facts with everybody in the team of Hr; will that employee ever comeback to Hr to share anyone with him. Never. Hr professionals need to win that trust and then voice and keep that trust. This is very true for Hr Professionals, who are working in "Employee Relations". Relation of any kind, be it with employees, is based on trust and honesty. If ever, you break that trust, you will never be able to win it again.

5 traits that any Hr Professionals should not have...traits that can hamper their Growth

1) Ego or Attitude: Larger than role attitude - Well, when you are working with people, interacting with habitancy and the number of habitancy that you are interacting with is large, you cannot afford to have ego. You need to come down from your level and talk. It is not easy, just next to impossible to match with the expectations of everybody. In this profession, habitancy will hate you, ignore your contribution, blame you but in spite of that you cannot afford to have ego. I have seen Hr professionals who are over-flowing with ego. When they start talking, it appears as if they are doing any favor by interacting with you, communicating with you and updating you with new strategy or policy. This is an additional one reason, as why Hr professionals are not able to make that impact in this profession to make them counted.

2) Should not be emotional - "Touch everyone's heart and don't let them touch yours". "Be empathetic but don't cry with your employees". Every human being is emotional and it's only irony that to be efficient and focused, Hr Professionals should not be emotional. By being emotional, there is a opening and high probability that these Hr Professionals will not be able to do justice with their work. They should be like that fish, which need to swim in water to survive but should not get wet.

3) I know all (I don't need to learn from you) - This is an additional one negative trait of Hr. They present themselves in a way, as if they know everything. That is not an end, the irony is that neither do they have "Subject matter expertise" nor they are good in "Human Relations" and nor do they want to learn anything. This reminds me one story of goat and lion. Goat, whenever she see or come across lion, she closes her eyes and assume that once I close my eyes, lion will not be able to see me. So, that is a situation of Hr Professionals.

Read this axiom.

If he don't know and don't know that he don't know, he is arrogant, Avoid him.

If he don't know and know that he don't know, he is a student, Teach him.

If he knows abut do not know that he knows, he is sleeping, Wake him up.

If he know and know that he knows, he is a Leader, succeed him.

I think, in this axiom, I have given the message that I want to carry to my fellow Hr Professionals.

4) I am God; I am The Kingmaker -

If you are hiring someone;

If you are paying wage to someone;

If you are giving promotion and growth to someone;

If you are nice to someone

You are not doing any favor to him. He deserves, that is why he is getting. If you are giving, even though he do not deserve, then you are Corrupt.

Many of Hr Professionals send across this message to the shop-floor that "Don't mess with me, I can spoil your career" or "I have done favor for you. Respect me".

5) Should not be biased (No Favoritism; No Grapevine; No Office Politics) - Hr Professionals, most of the time keep themselves engaged in "Office Politics". They inaugurate "Grapevine", water this grapevine and believe in this grapevine. anyone might be the presume but it is a gray area and they need to heighten on that. This is an additional one presume that no one take Hr professionals seriously. I know, in one of my old employment, when we started "Employee Relations" and "Employee Communication", all employees use to reconsider this Hr Representative as "Company ka jasoos" (Detective from management). In office politics, most of the time Hr group is considered as "Hub of All Politics". Hr Professionals need to come up, and growth their level of thinking. They need to be more matured.

Conclusion

As I have mentioned in the introduction, this is Inclusive list of qualities that all Hr professionals should have. In one of my old article, I have mentioned that for Hr professionals to stand-up and get counted, there are miles to go. Some Hr professionals have started this journey but many have still to take that "First Step". Believe me, we are in a very good profession and if we can try we can changes in many ways. We have an opening to give jobs, give careers, pro growth, coach and mentor people. On other hand, we can growth productivity, motivate employees, conduct talent, build brand for the enterprise and also make the enterprise "Best enterprise to work for".

So, kindly stand-up, take that first step and get counted.
