Dear Friends,

Can someone help me understand the workwise difference between Automobile HR and IT HR professionals? What are the practices, policies, or processes that differentiate these two sectors of HR?

Thanks in advance,

Automobile industry is a manufacturing industry concerned with the production of goods, whereas the IT industry is a service delivery business concerned with the production of services. In HR's perspective, the employee profile of a manufacturing industry is largely composed of workmen with basic trade skills like lathing, forging, welding, and machine operating. Their general education is moderate with technical training in various trades. The employee profile in the IT industry is composed of knowledge workers with high and sophisticated computing skills. Therefore, they are well-educated, and their needs level is different from those in the manufacturing sector.

The HR role in manufacturing is mainly concerned with looking after employee welfare, health and safety, lay-offs or retrenchments, industrial relations, statutory compliances, grievance handling, discipline management, negotiations, and settlements. The HR in the IT industry is mainly concerned with talent acquisition and management, employee engagement, performance management, training and development, and employee engagement, etc. It is not to say there can be a watertight division between the roles of automobile HR and IT HR.
