Whatever our forum friends have shared, you must know. But you will succeed as an HR professional if you follow the following:

1. Empathy
2. Be a sincere listener
3. Create a win-win situation for everyone in the organization
4. And last but most important, have a human touch in all your actions

Have a clear idea if you want to become an HR expert or a Personnel Management expert. All these statutory jobs can be done by a statutory consultant. We can hire a consultant to take care of all the mentioned tasks, but as an HR professional (Master of Human Resources), you need to focus on strategies, policies, etc.

Strategies

Strategies include solving problems with proper plans like controlling attrition, ensuring employee satisfaction, Performance Management Systems (PMS), Balance Score Cards, etc.

Policies

Policies provide the framework to carry out routine tasks according to company policy.

I hope you understand the importance of HR.

Thank you very much for your guidance. I am working as an HR Executive for the past 3+ years. I know all the basics of HR activities, but I feel it's not enough to excel in my career. According to all your suggestions, I feel I am weaker in areas of Acts. Soon I'll come out of my weaker part.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
