Hi,
To be an HR professional, you need to develop the following:
1. Be cool and have patience.
2. Observe people's attitudes.
3. Learn your organization's culture and put it into practice.
4. Never complain.
5. Create a bond with people and make yourself people-oriented.
6. Since HR professionals are like middle management, don't carry organizational gossip to the employees.
7. Practice good written and oral communication.

Hi Priyanka,
I will tell you some behavioral skills for the effective HR professional. Strong time management skills and personal efficiency are key for Human Resources professionals. HR professionals need to consider the needs of both employees and management. They must be able to handle employee issues and help managers develop their employees. HR professionals must understand team dynamics and find ways to bring employees together to make the team work.
All the best, Priyanka.

Hi,
An HR person is competent when he knows his people, cares for them, and helps them understand their purpose, fostering integrity among them. Behavior will continue to change based on the situation and purpose. The ideal approach is to be flexible and adaptable to various situations that require managing and balancing people's behavior, guiding them towards a common goal or achievement.
After all, HR is all about human beings.

Good question, Priyanka.
Everyone has given you great answers already. One of the meanings of the word 'behavior' itself shows a response to some form of stimuli. I'd like to reiterate that as an HR professional, you need to:
a) Remain calm, especially when dealing with pressure-filled situations or people.
b) Maintain adequate emotional distance from the employees to be just and impartial.
c) Be a people person (others should be able to approach you freely).
d) Be willing to trust people or give them the benefit of the doubt at least (I've noticed that many are first suspicious...).
e) Exhibit trustworthiness yourself; be cautious when dealing with employee information.
f) Do NOT ever indulge in idle gossip; leave that for a private discussion outside, preferably.
g) Honor commitments.
h) Be compassionate to people.
I'm sure there are many more things which can be added. It is definitely not easy being in the HR department. One has to be mature to handle the unique challenges one encounters in this area. It doesn't matter how old you are; it matters how you handle the given situation. There's always a fine line between being approachable and becoming emotionally compromised. However, it can be achieved. All the best!

Dear Priyanka,
Being in HR, and if you have the opportunity to lead, supervise, mentor, and motivate others - your ability to do so effectively makes a huge difference to your company's overall success. The knack of making the best use of every opportunity that comes your way lies entirely in your hands.
Be Yourself, be original. Listen. Don't take sides or badmouth one to become accepted by another. Be a Role Model. Rely on Your Ability to Support, Not on Your Ability to Do. Give Up the Illusion of Changing Anyone Except Yourself. Blow Your Team's Horn, Not Your Own. Focus on Your Team's Strengths. Take Charge of Your Own Growth. Be Patient. Work on Your Emotional Intelligence. Tell the Truth. Be Accountable. Be Adaptable. Be an excellent communicator. Have an Internal Customer/Quality Focus. Practice inclusiveness always. Keep in touch with the latest in occupational knowledge, be technology-oriented. Maintain Team Focus. Don't manage, lead, demonstrate, and practice leadership.
Thank you.

Dear Priyanka,
If you want to establish a strong foothold in the HR function, please follow the "Three-C" mantra, i.e., Confident, Competence, and Committed. If you practice this meticulously, others will follow automatically. You will become a role model for others.

Hello Priyanka,
Several views have been expressed, and I am sure you have benefited. I view HR as a department that serves all other departments. So, people in other departments are all internal customers. All the care that you would need in dealing with customers has to be borne in mind. Other key aspects can be listed as follows: empathy, interpersonal skills, listening, patience, convincing ability.
