Hi, please help me understand how Excel is used in HR functions. As I am new to HR, I don't know the specific usage of Excel in HR functions. I understand that we use Excel for maintaining data and for creating MIS reports, but I would appreciate a deeper explanation on its use and how to utilize features such as drawing borders and formatting in Excel.

Thank you,

Hi Akshita,

Without Excel, it would be very difficult to survive in HR. A lot of your day-to-day activities would include trackers, which are Excel sheets. Some of the things that you should be thorough with to maintain data in Excel:

1. Formatting - Very important to manage data sheet neatly. Creates a good impression!
2. Formulas you need to be thorough with:
- SUM Function
- COUNT Function
- DATE AND TIME FUNCTIONS
- Logical Statements like IF and OR
- VLOOKUP
3. Data Sorting
4. Data Validation

Hi Akshita,

Excel is a powerful tool mostly used for the database. Looking at the HR functions like recruitment, training & development, performance management, compensation & benefits management, payroll management, etc., we need to maintain and analyze data everywhere. How Excel will help depends on the role you are currently handling.

You can maintain a database in Excel, which will help you do your day-to-day work more comfortably, easily, accurately, and time-saving. How will Excel help in HR functions?

Recruitment:
- Recruitment schedule & status
- Offer & appointment letters
- Confirmation letter
- Extension of probation period
- CTC calculation/comparison

Like this, in each HR function, you can maintain the data in Excel. If you need any help in Excel, please feel free to contact at nileshs73@gmail.com.

Regards,
Nilesh

Normally, in every department, Management Information System (MIS) is very important for creating MIS reports. Excel is the most helpful tool for finding salary rates and generating payroll. We can also compare statements and prepare summary reports using pivot tables and V-Lookup options. Therefore, being well-versed with Excel enables us to prepare MIS faster, leaving a good impression.

Hi Akshita,

Please find here the PowerPoint presentation for Excel. I hope it will help you!

Don't worry, dear. It is not as tough as you are thinking. You will be comfortable with Excel only by using it. First, start using it, don't get panicked. OK.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Excel is very useful in HR. You can fill PF challans, ESIC challans, and a lot of other functions automatically. For small industries, it helps in processing salary. You can learn it by using it and taking help provided in it.

Dear Seniors & Friends,

I am an MBA in HR (2007 graduate) from Chennai. My passion is to work in the HR domain and acquire a good knowledge of all HR functions. Unfortunately, I had to join as a Tech Support Executive during the 4th project semester of my MBA to help my family situation. I have been working as a TSE for about 1.5 years in a reputed BPO.

Now, after being exhausted from night shifts, I think it's high time to start my career. I have started searching for HR jobs, preferably in the IT/Telecom sectors, but have not found one suitable as companies ask for 6 months to 1 year of experience from candidates, pushing back my candidacy.

1) I want to know if my experience is valuable? [I was truly one of the best performers at my job]. I definitely do not want my 1.5 years of experience to go to waste!

2) Also, can anyone tell me: Am I late to pursue an HR job as a fresher candidate in corporates? Or should I try consultancy firms and gain experience there for 6 months to 1 year, which I don't mind, as long as it is beneficial.

Please guide me, Gurus!

Thank you.
