Understanding the Differences Between Automobile HR and IT HR Professionals
The automobile industry is a manufacturing industry concerned with the production of goods, whereas the IT industry is a service delivery business concerned with the production of services. From an HR perspective, the employee profile of a manufacturing industry largely consists of workmen with basic trade skills like lathing, forging, welding, and machine operating. Their general education is moderate, with technical training in various trades. In contrast, the employee profile in the IT industry comprises knowledge workers with high and sophisticated computing skills. Therefore, they are well-educated, and their needs differ from those in the manufacturing sector.
The HR role in manufacturing is mainly concerned with looking after employee welfare, health and safety, layoffs or retrenchments, industrial relations, statutory compliances, grievance handling, discipline management, negotiations, and settlements. In the IT industry, HR is mainly concerned with talent acquisition and management, employee engagement, performance management, training and development, etc. It is not to say there can be a watertight division between the roles of automobile HR and IT HR.
