The Increasing Regulation in the HR Environment
The HR environment is becoming increasingly regulated. A plethora of laws and compliances have been recently introduced; however, not many professionals are aware of these, their risks, and implications. Non-compliance can result not only in major risks for organizations but also in devastating consequences for individuals who are unknowingly responsible.
Hence, to succeed in this domain, one must have solid knowledge of labor and employment law, accompanied by top-notch managerial skills to deal with legal and policy issues arising from employee discipline. However, these skills only depict the tip of the iceberg. In the true sense, the following skills are essential to thrive in the domain:
Essential Skills for HR Professionals
- Identification of employee-related issues and risk management techniques, such as cross-reference techniques to manage them.
- Managing legal and practical aspects of contract and outsourced employment.
- Practical techniques to deal with day-to-day workplace issues, e.g., sexual harassment, employee relations, negotiations, collective bargaining, etc.
- Effectively and sensitively handling downsizing/retrenchment, lay-off/bench employees, and termination.
- Practical understanding of compensation and benefits through the Wages and Bonus Act, Retirees and Social Security Act from compliance, as well as salary structuring and negotiation for candidate closure.
Team members in HR, compliance, admin, legal, and executives managing labor and employee-related matters would benefit from these kinds of programs.

I agree that today, most HR professionals lack knowledge of labor and employment laws, making it important for them to undergo these kinds of programs, especially those conducted by XLRI - Xavier Labor Research Institute, which is a premier institute in labor and welfare programs.
