With all due respects to females i agree with the same, in hr post mostly females are preferred and thats quiet annoying.

Hi Balaji,
Human Resource Management is a very vast field & people belonging to both genders may equally fit into the HR profile...provided they have the requisite skills and attitude. So, don't let ur decision of going for MBA in HRM or any other stream for that matter, be colored by such misconceptions, rather analyse ur aptitude for a specific field. I do agree that for Recruitments and that too, mostly in consulting firms, the fairer sex gets preference but this is a combo of hr and tele-marketing profile & even many non-MBAs (both genders) are employed here. On the other hand, I have also seen many job-openings, where some companies mention "only male candidates/ male candidates preferred", especially in IR roles...but that does not mean that females can't handle such matters or are not doing that anywhere else ! Moreover, post completion of ur MBA , y limit urself to IT -ITES sector & worry abt ur views abt. no. of m/ f human resrce professionals there...hr is not a function dats carried out in these sectrs alone...it has got wide applications across many sectors.
Hope that gives u some idea abt the scope of hrm ! However, besides this issue...there r other imp. factors that u need to consider befre zeroing down on selection of MBA stream...like the no. of job opportunities generated are mostly in mktg field & the strength of Mktg., IT & Finance employees in cos. is generally much higher than that of hr. So, fresh MBAs in HR may find it a bit difficlt to bag desired hr profiles...let it be males or females. Thus, check out the quality of educ. & placement record of the institute thoroghly befre taking admission in MBA and keep wrking on ur skills...the rest will fall in place for sure.
Good luk !

Hi.
you don't worry about the % of female HR or Male HR. if you've the will power to become an HR person, then continue. And all other things which you mentioned are all just Perceptions. If you can manage and lead a group then I'm sure man you can do it.
Winner's do things differently. So, you must break that 80%-20% record for women and men. :)

Basically, HRM profession itself about effectiveness of ecompetancy and efficiency measueres for organizations.
But some over enthusiatic people or i would say fancy mindset CEO's and MD's take this profession to different level as to have more female into HR for their timepass or entertainment value inadvertantly they promote gender discrimination with male counterparts because of male HR are adament and stubborn in stick to the principles of HR and focused on real HR practices instead of fancy activities.
Good HR and employment laws do not encourage gender discrimination but unfortunately some people think otherwise.
