Dear HR Consultants/Veterans,
I hope this message finds you well and in good health. I am working as an HR & IR professional from Tamil Nadu, with over 10 years of hardcore experience in the Textile, Engineering, Automobile, and Leather industries. However, my long-standing dream is to become an IR and HR consultant. I believe that now is the right time to take the necessary steps to achieve this dream within the next 3 to 5 years. I seek your assistance in guiding me on how to progress from my current position and move forward in this direction.
To the seasoned professionals in the industry, what are the key qualities that HR consultants are expected to possess? Are there specific skills or terms that are in high demand?
I would greatly appreciate your advice on where and on which areas I should focus to become a successful consultant like you veterans. Furthermore, which area within HR do you foresee as having significant potential in the near future?
Your valuable insights would be highly appreciated. I eagerly await your responses.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Sakthi Suku, MBA (HR), MSW (PM & IR)

Dear Sakthi Suku,
You wanted to be an HR Consultant. However, have you defined how your services will provide ROI to your customers? How will it be measured, and on what parameters will it be measured? Have you defined what your product is and what are the advantages of availing this product?
It appears that you are not clear on these concepts. First, be clear, then you can think of doing product promotion.
Thanks,

Sir,
Thank you for your prompt response. I mentioned the domains of IR and HR, where I aim to become a specialist or consultant. I am looking to specialize rather than be a generalist consultant, as mentioned earlier. I need guidance on how and where to start from the basics.
I acknowledge your point about product promotion requiring unique skill sets to attract the market and clients.

Sakti ji,
Your vast experience in the field should give you enough confidence to foresee what major problems are being faced by industries in HR and IR domains. Every organization wants their HR vertical to be strong and compliant yet spend very little on this vertical. Having said this, I assure you that just connect to your best resources and contacts who may need their HR vertical to be set right. Dig out many contracting agencies where they need a lot of awareness training and solutions in HR management and compliance. Your expert liaison with local authorities will also be useful towards resolving many of your customer problems. Speak to startups and help them overcome their compliance issues. I had been spending a lot of time with customers understanding how they need a consultant to work towards their growth. As Dinesh briefly said about ROI, it's the key feature applicable in every business. In HR, time, punctuality, timely fulfillment of compliance keep the customer indemnified. While there are other areas like training, placements, recruitments, employee engagements, and various processes that your customer would expect help from you. For all this to happen, my advice is to get connected with people, companies, and employees and try winning their trust through your value, expertise, and commitment.
