Hi Aslam,
As an HR professional, being friendly with employees is not a problem. However, many employees are hesitant or afraid to approach Admin/HR personnel. It is important to maintain a certain level of distance with them to uphold your image, and prevent your weaknesses from being exposed to others.
Avoid discussing personal issues, official matters, or gossip about colleagues with employees.

Hi,
From your question, I gather your organization does not have a competency framework in place. This would provide a good indication of the behavior/competencies expected in each function. Being jolly, smiling, and joking can be considered as "People Friendly" as long as you address the task at hand and do not put it off with a joke always. You cannot and perhaps should not change your behavior just to satisfy a few people who feel something is not proper.
I suggest you focus on:
a. HR Skills - Are you the best HR in your firm, and do people feel confident approaching you? This would include your recruitment, policy-making, appraisal, training skills, etc.
b. Level of maturity - as visible through your behavior combined with business knowledge. What does your company do, and are you - the HR capable of supporting the business?
c. Strategic thinking - based on your knowledge of business, HR, and general wisdom.
Hope this helps.

Dear all,
Need your advice for my situation.
I am working in a company as an HR Manager for the last five months. By nature, I am not a very strict man, and I cannot be serious all the time. I always maintain a jolly mood, joke with employees, and take situations lightly. Slowly, I started realizing that people may not take me seriously if I continue to be how I am.
Please advise me: should I change my attitude towards them, or should I continue the way I am? How should an ideal HR Manager behave? Cool, calm, or aggressive and serious?
Dear Mohd Assalam,
The typical HR manager is soft-spoken but strict when it comes to his job responsibility. It is alright to be light-hearted, but your empathy must not be taken as sympathy. Be cool but strict. I have seen HR managers and Deputy managers. They were all serious, and they meant business. It is better to be that way, but your business-oriented approach should not leave room for your employees to make small talks. Any conversation with your employees must be understood as a privilege given to them as the head of HR is talking to them cordially.

Dear Mohd Asslam,
It is all right to be cordial to the employees, but that must not be mistaken for you being lenient with their deviant behavior. Every individual has self-respect, and your own self-respect should not be compromised. Be firm yet composed in your demeanor. This approach will help maintain your professional image.

Hi Aslam,
Being in HR, you are dealing with human beings - the first and foremost thing to remember. You need to be jolly in mood, serious at times, and strict to meet objectives of the moment, as you are dealing with human beings (repeat). You meet them with their mood swings, and they meet you with a variety of requirements and situations; here, your maturity as well as wisdom are tested to face the situation and win over. One has to act depending on the situation and the need of the hour. Hope I am correct.

Dear,
I feel you should go with Mr. Richard's suggestion. It is very important for an HR manager to be friendly in nature because only then employees will approach you for their problems. If the solution is not with you, don't make commitments, but surely do your best.

Dear Mr. Aslam,
HR managers are people managers. Your nature, as explained by you, is an absolute fit to win over people. You must win people, and people will support you wholeheartedly. As a professional, I understand that you may face some setbacks due to your jovial nature and lightheartedness. However, it is essential to educate those below you to understand that work is always accountable. Therefore, company policies, rules, and regulations are essential tools to deal with individuals with adverse characteristics. Remember, managers are strategic, and managers like you are magical.
Thanks
