Hi,
As far as the competence question is concerned, there is hardly any significant difference between a man and a woman HR. Either can be good or bad. That's not the question.
What matters is the culture of the country, province and particularly the organization in that order. For example, in a male dominated culture, it would be difficult for a man to confide in a woman HR and euqally difficult for woman HR to become a confidant of the men colleagues.
So, primarily is the culture of the organization, the way it has evolved, nurtured, the values it sanctifies and the maturity of the HR that will decide the issue.
In our culture a woman has some dominant roles-sister, wife, mother etc. and rarely a friend, a superior, etc. I suppose that is so primarily because our culture has a long way to go in seeing women being accepted in critical positions as that of HR. We are moving in the right direction. There are many womrn in HR, but there is still time for them to get in higher levels and be accepted as such! But this is bound to happen. It is just another step in the process of evolution of our culture. By thinking and acting suitably we may accelerate the process or move backwards and thwart like some societies that are known to NOT grant women the status and recognition that they deserve!
I rest my case.

Dear All,
Sorry to say but at some what extend I am not agreed with Samvedan. :( .
To excel in any career what matters is your own skill sets, maturity to tackle with situations and your own interpersonality plus what Samvedan says it very correctly it depends on which company culture you are adopting and what are normal trends existing in that organization.
But what he says that "There are many woman in HR, but there is still time for them to get in higher levels and be accepted as such! " and here I want to tell honestly that HR Field is highly dominated by woman in many of the IT, BPO,Call Centers,Service and Software Industries.
Woman HR are highly appreciated and Preferred also.Many of them are reached to the top positions in HR and heading the Dept and I feel this is because a woman is by birth "Empathetic" in nature and this helps her to understand the situation very well always.
I hope I have convey my opinion successfully.

Dear friends,
Few of thougts are given here.
There are no significant differences between men and women in the likelihood of performing higher or lower-level work activities.
What we should look from the people are affectionate, lovable, leadership, motivating, committment, encouragement, target oriented, relaxed mentality, etc.
So whether male or female is immaterial.

Hi!
In my opinion, it does not matter whther the HR person is a woman or a man.
The only factor which differentiates the male candidate from the female one is the organisation culture.
Our organsiation is a woman centered organisation. More than 70% of the employees are women. Naturally in such organisations. Women have a better understanding of other women and their problems.
However those organisations which are men centric, conservative, men may make better HRs.

Hi,
No Job can be described as fit for him or her. Every individual is unique and can do the same job in different ways effectively. Nothing in todays world is gender biased, people accept a person as a person and not based on the persons gender. There are many more factors that make a person do a job successfully and effectively, than just gender.
So Mona, maybe you have lot of ladies in the HR, doesn't mean Men are not good at it.

dear friends,
we can remember Indra Nooyi and Aziz Premji. Though Ms.Nooyi is yet to take charge, she is welcomed and praised by all. Note that Mr.Aziz also made us very proud.
So the organisation culture and more than that the person attitude and mind set are important for their functioning and success.

Dear Vinay,
Regarding your question, i would like to say that it doesn't matter whether you have a male HR executive or a female HR executive. what really matters is the essential skills, attitude and knowledge required for a particular position. if a person is competent enough to hold a post, the gender factor is immaterial.
It also depends on the perception of the employer on how he feels about employing people.

Hello,
The following are not my personal views, but could be the views in general.
1. If you have a female HR person, then the company may have to grant her maternity leave at some point of time. I do not know whether her absence during leave is an advantage or disadvantage to the company. It depends on what contributions or messes the HR person is making.
2.If you have more female employees, then it is better to have a female HR person. This is the general belief. But, beware that there is a possibility you get an inquisitive female for that HR position, who will always be breathing on the neck of every female employee (to show empathy with females) causing employees' unrest and may eventually prove that a male in that place could have created less problems to the company.
3. If you have more male employees than female ones, then you can have either a male or female HR. Male employees are not supposed to have problems so personal in nature that they need to share with the HR person. They generally do not need empathy from a female HR person. The female employees, who are lesser in number in that organization, compared to males, also do not need so much of empathy from HR. Their mutual empathy may be sufficient. So, the HR person could be male or female in this case. Or, HR dept. can have a mixture of male and female staff to be empathetic with their own genders and keep representing on all the gender related problems and issues to the management.
4.If you have substantial number of militant or arrogant or rudely behaving male employees as part of your workforce, then it is better to have a female HR person. It is my observation that mostly females somehow have the knack of putting such negative employees in their place by teaching them appropriate lessons in their lives. (Males take them on their horns and get into problem.) Or, sometimes sympathy works better than empathy. It is better to have what works better for your company. Sometimes the rude employees due to modesty do not want to show their rudeness to the female HR persons. If you do not give them any other place - other than HR - for being rude, then they will permanently loose the opportunity for being rude. They all will probably become so soft eventually. Or, if they behave rudely, then they will attract the hatred from all quarters for being rude with a female. All females in the organization may push the management for immediate action on that employee and therefore he will be chucked out easily. (If you have arrogant female employees as large part, then also it is better to have female HR as they can only properly deal with these matters as they know each other.)
5. If your company is full of male chauvinists as heads of other departments, then it is better to have only females in HR. The other department managers may be initially happy to feel that HR is totally female and they can therefore expect HR to be in subordinate position. Over a period of time their happiness will disappear, because it is difficult to judge along the way who is dominating whom. So, the chauvinism will also subsequently disappear.This way you can create a balance in the organization between genders.
6. I do not find any situation wherein only a male will suit a HR job.
