If an organization is represented as a body, then Human Resources is the heart of the body.


That's how important an HR manager is to an organization. Needless to say, the skills required for such an immense responsibility should be top-notch.


In this blog, we'll dig deeper into what makes an HR the heart of an organization and what roles they need to fulfill.



WHAT IS THE ROLE OF AN HR MANAGER?


Human Resources Management maintains organizational structure and sustains workplace balance. HRM primarily concerns itself with finding, selecting and hiring employees.


HRM manages business operations and provides training for employees. By this information, we can say that the roles of HR are talent management, training and development, compliance to the company's guidelines, and workplace safety.

● Sharing of information with the employees

● Monitoring employee performance

● Conducting analysis of the job description

SKILLS NEEDED FOR HRM


COMMUNICATION SKILLS: First and foremost, good HR managers should be able to establish clear communication with their employees. They should be able to clearly comprehend information while being coherent in their instructions.


Good communication can also prevent conflicts that can arise due to miscommunication. And ease the conflict before it escalate.


BONDING SKILLS: Working in a stressed-out environment can take a toll on the mental health of your employees. That can significantly reduce their as well as their co-workers' output. Having a patient and calm demeanor can have a positive effect in a competitive atmosphere.


HR managers who have a calm and collected conduct will help in building trust with your employees. Additionally, that can aid in building relations among the employees, which will lead to better teamwork.


MANAGERIAL SKILLS: This is often referred to as Organizational skills. An efficient HR has impeccable organizational skills, much like a Librarian. They know where employee records from 10 years ago are, where new hire records are, as well as where the bank-related documents would be. They need to compile all legal and official papers that could be needed at a later time.


Drawing up employment contracts and payroll-related documents are time-sensitive tasks. This calls for unerring time management skills, in addition to managing the official calendar.


DISCRETENESS: HR managers know it all. They have access to their employee's salary records, medical history, personal information as well as confidential information related to the company.


It is imperative for HRs to maintain confidentiality regarding this information. Divulging any confidential information outside of the team can increase the legal risk.


ADAPTABILITY: While it's good to have a strategy planned by the minute, HR managers should have a contingency plan in case of some unforeseen circumstances. They review old policies and guidelines to analyze if there's any room for improvement. They see the big picture to investigate what could go wrong, and plan in advance for it.
