What Skills Should an HR Executive Have to Advance Their Career in Dubai?

Respected All,

Could you please tell me what the qualities, expertise, and skills of an HR Executive are?

An HR Executive should possess such expertise. Sir, I am not asking about an HR Manager or HR Assistant. My question is about an Interim career HR Executive.

Currently, I am working here in Dubai as an HR Executive with 4 years of experience. However, I aim to progress my career from HR Executive to Assistant HR Manager and beyond. That's why I seek your guidance.

Once I receive your comments, I will evaluate myself. Of course, I must first develop my skills before seeking another job for the position of Assistant Manager or HR Manager.

Best regards,

In order to grow up the ladder, one needs to be very much focused. See particularly in HR after the executive phase, you need to choose one direction. You can be either a Generalist HR or a Specialist HR.Firstly lets talk about the generalist HR.In case you wish to take up this option then you need to pick up new skills gradually and master yourself in all the aspects of the HR.For this at the end of very month, you should have one new skill to add to your resume. That means you are progressing in the right direction. This is difficult but not IMPOSSIBLE.

Then the second option can be Specialist HR for which you need to pick up one are of HR which should be your interest area and specialize in all its levels over the period of time.For e.g recruitments,compensation & benefits etc.

Now the choice entirely lays in your hands.Prior to ending would like to mention that the Generalist HR can even reach to the level of the MD's of the organization , if they have right aptitude,skills and the knowledge.

ALL THE BEST!

Hi,

According to me, all the qualities of an HR executive should be present in an HR manager as it is through the ladder of success from an HR executive that one reaches the level of HR Manager. The only exception is that an HR Manager is more refined with their experience.

Secondly, how can you judge yourself? Perceptions differ from person to person, and as a result, we have many schools of thought.

Lastly, you can always try to inculcate those qualities which are missing from your seniors.

With warm regards, Karuuna
