Hi Sanjeev,
Greetings for the day.
I personally feel the most important skill for any HR professional is "people handling." Along with that, he or she should be a good team leader and must be an effective communicator.

Vrushali, I believe 'people handling' is very vague and broad term. Can you please explain this part?
Also, I also believe that being a “team-leader” is not a primary skill. There are limited numbers of HR people in leadership roles of any company. It is not very often that we hear about HR professionals as CEO of companies or HR professionals in the board-room.
Please explain this as well.

Sanjeev, Team leader it doesnt mean you should be a CEO or be a part of board room.
To lead your team, to tel your staff that you are with them, motivate them at work level, understand their problems,resolve it all these things comes under a team leader.
Gandhiji, Tilak never studied HR or not being a part of any board room or not a CEO. But they were great team leaded.A great potential to influence on people.Similarly now a days every dept staff having some dissatisfaction about their senior or reporting head such as production,marketing. In such a situation only HR who could understand them and act as a leader...I hope now its clear to you.
In case of people handling its a skill which differ from HR to HR . In my organization it is a very important skill for me. Might be not necessary for your org.

Also, Vrushali, I think the core problem is not in leadership skills or the ability to lead the team... The problem is in seeking the role of team lead without understanding the basics. Seeking a leadership position within 0.5 to 1 year of experience. Therefore, leadership skills are required only after a certain level of experience and not at the beginning of a career.

Dear Sanjeev,
These are the three main skills which I feel a good HR professional should possess in today's scenario:
1. Recruiting & Interviewing Skills - finding the right person for the right job, which is a challenge in today's competitive environment. The HR professional should have a background in Operations/Business HR.
2. Employee Grievance Handling - HR should be proactive and capable of resolving issues promptly. They should be easily accessible to employees.
3. Employee Engagement - It goes beyond just fun and games. It involves linking engagement activities with career progression, personality development, work-life balance, integrity, etc.
Thank you,

Dear All,
I am facing some problems regarding people handling in the organization. My seniors say an HR must not be friendly with employees; an HR should not sit and have lunch with them. They believe that by doing so, an HR loses its values. But I believe that HR must be good at employee relations. HR must be a link (coordinator) between employees and the employer. Kindly let me know what behavior and attitude an HR must carry.
I am working as an HR Executive with 10 months of experience.

Hi Sanjiv,
I don't think that to be a good leader, you need to gain some experience first. Leadership comes from within, due to situations, regardless of whether you started your job 1 day back or 10 years back.
A good HR professional should possess the quality of integrating into the system and aligning others within the system for the smooth functioning of the entire organization. This ensures that one could say, "Yes, the working of this or that company is the best," and that is the real appreciation and success of a good and successful HR.
