This is a very controversial question: who is superior and which task is better?
Hence, I do think HR has a very wide scope of tasks from entry to managing and exiting the whole process. In the manufacturing industry, you will have to tackle statutory compliance, employee relations, etc., where you will be well-confronted with the legal aspects of HR in the manufacturing industry, which makes you special in comparison to others.

Hi,
Thanks, Amar, for your reply. Actually, my flair is more towards statutory compliance, but I like the culture of the service sector and wanted to move into it. Does the service sector include all the functional areas of HR, including statutory compliance?

Sub- Manufacturing Sector - Service Sector
Manufacturing sector and service sector are two different sectors with HR issues peculiar to them. For example, the manufacturing sector has to deal with blue-collar workforce which have problems peculiar to them like welfare issues, compliance with factory laws, negotiations, and labor disputes. But probably, there will be less headache on employee turnover in this segment of the workforce. Thus, an HR professional in the manufacturing sector will grow stronger in the skills of negotiations and, as Mr. Amar said, in the knowledge of labor laws and compliance, and emerge tougher in management skills. The performance appraisal will be different from that in the public sector since in the manufacturing sector the productivity is quantifiable.
The service sector comprises of white-collar and educated workforce which is highly mobile because of the market for them. So, there will be high employee turnover, and one should be strong in the skills of recruitment and talent management. Thus, I concur with Mr. Amar that experience in the manufacturing sector will equip you with the special knowledge and skills which give you an edge over others. The transition from the manufacturing sector to the service sector will be smooth for HR, but the vice-versa may not be true.
However, the basic concepts of HR shall be acquired which can be applied and adapted to any sector.

Fortunately, yes, statutory compliance is a legal obligation as well as an integral part of every organization, including manufacturing and service industries. Furthermore, if your question is whether the service sector also has these features, then my answer would be yes. Before engaging in any endeavor, you should be equipped with all the necessary tools that may be required in the future. Similarly, in the service industry, before selecting a field, you should prepare yourself to enter it.
In this regard, it would be beneficial to have a professional edge in a specific field, such as LLB, IRPM, CS, and MBA (HR), to strengthen your entrance into any field.

Manufacturing industry surely has more turnover than the service industry. Many HR professionals do not agree with me, especially those working in the service industry. However, as an HR person in a manufacturing unit, I can say this with a lot of certainty.

Hi,
HR Management & Development plays a vital role in the corporate world. It's not the technology, equipment, or machinery that drives industrial/corporate growth, but rather it is human resources and their efficient, skillful management and application that create brands and foster the most creative and innovative concepts in business.
Regarding the learning and exposure of HR concepts, I believe that the type of industry does not matter significantly. The HR personnel must apply their best-acquired skills to develop human resources in a manner that ensures wherever they work, the employees under their supervision experience job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and focus on achieving higher goals, performing at the peak of their skills and talents.
Thanks,

Hi,
In my opinion, in the manufacturing sector, there will be lots of scope compared to the service industry. I have experience in both sectors, and based on that, I am saying this. In the manufacturing sector, you will have full-time work, whereas in the service industry, that much work will not be there compared to the manufacturing sector. There will be a reason that in the manufacturing sector, the workforce will be more on the company's payroll as well as contract labor, so there will be statutory compliance, recruitment, etc., whereas in the service industry, the workforce will be less.

Hello,
Manufacturing and the service sector are two different sectors with HR issues. If you want to learn many things related to HR & IR, you can get it only in a manufacturing unit. If you just want to learn something and enjoy the job, you can consider the service industry. But make your choice as every industry has its own pros and cons.
