Hi..
Good HR managers see themselves as allies, not policeman.
Qualities
1) show empathy
2) Are approachable to employees
3) Communicate effectively
4)flexible in administering policies and in their own work schedules. Policies are guidelines
5) HR managers have two distinct, and often conflicting, roles according for a consumer products company.
They support the company to ensure they are optimising the value of the assignment and they support the employee by ensuring they are able to maximize their value to the organization.”
6)they actively listen to the employees
7)Leadership -- taking people to a place that they would not normally go to on their own.That also by good strategic planning.
8) able to Cope with change and operating difficulties
9) heart of organizational leadership
10) By providing the right C (challenge, confidence, or coaching) to the employees.
11)define a vision, articulate values, and infuse both into every aspect of employee management

Dear Member,
In your question, you have intended to be good, HR (Manager), and professional. I would advise you to first develop yourself as a professional. A professional is committed to a mission, and lifelong, he remains a missionary.
The world's oldest and noblest profession is medical. A doctor remains a doctor; there is no executive doctor, manager doctor, vice president (doctor), etc. He continues to deliver his professional commitment lifelong, but of course with increasing competence and effectiveness.
A professional commands authority by virtue of his competence (knowledge, skills, and abilities). A professional lives by values both professional and personal.
For him, a career is not hierarchically taller titles and tags but increasingly meaningful and life-enriching professional experience and accomplishments. Attached reading may help you further to mold yourself as an HR professional.

In addition to what Mr. Rakesh has already mentioned, an HR professional needs the quality or ability to be flexible and patient. Many of HR's responsibilities are intertwined with other departments, which should be managed efficiently. This is particularly common in small and medium-sized businesses, where individuals often juggle multiple roles.
In my firm, I have to coordinate with the marketing team for incentives tracking, the admin team for requisition and procurement, and the accounts team for salary formatting, among other tasks. Essentially, HR should act as a catalyst, accelerating processes without any negative side effects.
I hope this information has been helpful.

Good HR professionals are those who are committed to the work assigned to them and are open to all employees.
A professional HR individual is also defined as someone who is approachable to employees and possesses the ability to solve employee queries, address issues, provide guidance, and never lets down the employees of the company.
HR serves as the backbone of a company. While the sales and marketing teams promote the company in the market, HR professionals work behind the scenes, ensuring employee satisfaction and motivation.
HR functions vary across different organizations. Some HR professionals handle multiple activities. For instance, I manage HR, Admin, and various other tasks to keep employees satisfied and foster their growth within the company to contribute to the overall growth.
Being a professional in HR also means being ready to take on any challenge with a never-say-no attitude, as employees' well-being is a top priority.

Please also remember that you are supposed to stay neutral - never to take sides with management or employees. You do not belong to either side. It is sometimes very difficult to stay neutral in certain situations and in certain organizations, but that is where the real challenge for an HR professional lies!

That is purely true...
I've suffered from such situations so many times. It is very difficult to respond. I just want to suggest that during such situations, HR must make decisions after deep discussions with employers as well as employees. Sometimes, decisions made without discussing with any party can lead to complex management problems.

Dear HRSW1,
First, be honest and upright.
Secondly, be communicative and approachable.
Thirdly, complete HR is a service industry. You are not bringing in money for the business but spending it on the right people. So do not be a GOD to all and be humane.
Fourthly, rather than waiting for employees to ask you questions on various aspects, go to the employees and ask them questions about their aspirations, frustrations, etc. (that is empathy). Leave your office and meet people in their offices/workstations.
Lastly, do not flaunt the power of confidential information and get into office politics.

Acknowledging the learning and every contribution made by everyone here, I wish to add my cent to the collection.
Being in HR, we humans too have our personality, however we wish. When we handle responsibilities in HR, it is to be all that we can be, contributing to our own happiness as well as the happiness of others.
The main trait at the top of my list would be to have integrity and treat people with respect. Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect, and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person's credibility more than integrity and respect - respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.
I recall my father who, as I was beginning my career, gave advice that keeps ringing in my ears always. "If you have integrity, nothing else matters, and if you do not have integrity, nothing else matters." This applies to every aspect of being human, whatever the profession. HR is no exception, yet to me, it's always the first, as everything else you do is shaped alongside this one characteristic.
The other traits I would list out would be:
- Be a better listener, always.
- Be supportive of others.
- Read more and expand your interests constantly. The more you read and cultivate new interests, the more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people, it gives you the opportunity to share what you know and to exchange your views with them.
- Be a good conversationalist. This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others.
- Have an opinion. There is nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or differing opinion, you are more interesting and stimulating to be with, professionally or socially (unless you're a know-it-all, of course). A unique outlook expands everyone's perspective.
- Never be shy of meeting new people. Make the effort to meet new people, especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things but also broadens your horizons.
- Be yourself. The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something you're not. Molding yourself to fit in or be accepted usually backfires. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting. Attempting to be a carbon copy of someone else not only falls flat but also reveals a lack of authenticity.
- Have a positive outlook and attitude. Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be the kind of upbeat person who lights up a room with your energy when you enter it. Do it by looking for the best in people and things. Smile warmly, spread good cheer, and enliven others with your presence.
- Be fun and see the humorous side of life at times.
