Feeling Overwhelmed as a New HR Manager? Seeking Advice on Essential Skills and Priorities

Hi, I am an HR professional recently promoted to the designation of HR Manager from a Senior HR Executive. I was wondering why I have not been given any training yet, and the workload has increased all of a sudden. I was a good performer and have handled tasks earlier as well. But now I am expected to take on reporting and meetings with my reportees. I find myself less prepared, and I am looking for some serious advice on leadership roles. Can anyone please share insights about what skills I need to cultivate?

For example, I feel I am not good with Excel, particularly in generating reports with existing data. How do we make the breakup of salary for employees? Please guide me on what are the important things I should now work on and what can be my priority list, as there is no senior here who can guide me.

Thanks in advance!

First of all, congratulations! Secondly, when you know your weaknesses, then develop and improve such skills. You can join a computer institute where you can learn advanced Excel. Go through the files of existing employees to understand the calculation of the salary breakup. Prepare yourself to face some more challenges. Good luck.
