Hi Shiva,
It is really disheartening to hear from a young HR aspirant that he got bored with HR activities. I think you are in the early stages of your career with just 3 years of experience, and you should never express that you are bored with your work. Just imagine those who have been working in this field for many years. They never complain or say they get bored with their work.
Compared to other professions, we HR professionals are blessed with the opportunity to work with humans (complex beings). We should never claim that we get bored. HR is not limited to just recruitment, induction, and policy-making; it is a vast field where you have to explore innovative ideas to excel in your job. You can create your own strategies to implement in your work and collaborate with your colleagues.
In comparison to HR professionals working abroad, HR professionals in India are fortunate to have many opportunities. As Mr. Sundararajan mentioned, there are numerous tasks to handle in the manufacturing sector.
I believe it might be time for you to seek new challenges in your job, as a person may feel bored if they do not encounter fresh challenges in their current work environment.

Hi Shiv,
I am Pavan. I come along with 3+ years of experience in HR. I feel that when a role is bound by routine and recurring activities, and there is no room for further development, every professional will find their job boring. This sentiment is not limited to HR; it applies to all professionals who still have the zeal for innovation and question why tasks must be done in a particular manner. Why can't they be approached in a more professional, systematic, and creative way?
Therefore, I believe that when we start at a basic level, we learn and have zeal. However, after three years, especially in the HR field, this zeal tends to decrease as the work remains mostly the same. But there are few professionals like us who still prefer to approach things differently. This leads to the question, "Is my job boring? It's always the same." However, believe me, when you start something new or improve the old ways in a better manner, you will definitely feel the challenge.
Thanks and Regards,

May be,
It happens for only a few in the industry. From day one, I have been involved in policy-making as a junior executive. I believe it is all almighty and blesses. I have experience with CMMI in my first company and currently undergoing it in another company.
It is really difficult to produce "QUALITY OF WORK" as there is no end to the level of satisfaction.

I think it's the same with every field, but we HR professionals are lucky because while most people deal with systems and spend most of their time in front of the computer, we deal with people and people management, which can never be boring! Just an opinion!

Hey Shiva, so what have you finally decided? Insurance, telecom - one more suggestion I can give you is pharma or agriculture. Do you have any idea about seed selling? It's a challenging and interesting job because one has to visit farms in villages. Try this, it will help you. By the way, what is your CTC, man? I do have 3 years of experience. Please do inform before leaving your job and share your Talent Manager's ID so we, citehrians, can forward their resumes. What do you say, friends?

Dear Shiv,
You are bored of HR, and you see I am bored of this life - this material life. I want to go to the other world and experience spiritual bliss, away from this hatred and worldly desires. I want to fly like a free bird - lightweight and free, without any issues or tensions of job, money, etc.
Can anyone help me? :(:(:(:(
Thank you.

Dear All,
How can anyone be bored of HR?
I mean, this is one job that people crave. It is one of the most authoritative positions one could ever have.
We are the people driving the organization, driving motivation, driving performance, and we are the ones who drive growth.
If we get bored of the job we are doing, how can we expect the employees' morale to be high and their motivation to be at its peak?
It is not the right thing to think about boredom in a place where it has no place to withstand.
We should understand that we are the ones on the wheels of the car named the Company, and we are the ones who strive to pave the way for the organization's growth without giving bumpy rides.
Just imagine if the driver feels bored while driving, is there anyone in the car who can take hold of the wheels as efficiently as the driver? The obvious answer is NO.
So, guys, despite feeling bored, we should engage ourselves in some activities.
We can conduct a stress analysis with the help of friends and/or colleagues who have degrees in psychology.
This will help us understand the mindset of employees and also help us learn about different subjects.
I personally keep myself busy by reading books and watching inspirational movies that can actually help me learn new things.
Guys, once again, please don't get bored of HR, at least not on this site.
"The real reason for boredom is not the job; it is how you do it."
Thank you.
