I work in a 2nd Largest Pvt Bank in India. And as per what they actually do, I m suggesting that an HR person should have following qualities.
1. 90% of the case, the person should be female (50% selection criteria is taken care of)
2. Fluent in English
3. Should know some recruitment consultants who can source right candidates for you and you should also know to line them up for interview with the respective functional head
4. You should know how do type the details of the candidate in offer letter / appointment letter & take the signature of the HR Head.
5. You should also know a third party agency which can do candidate's previous employment verification.
6. You should know how to verify the Original document by asking the candidate to show the Original Docs.
7. You should know how to type and forward an email.
8. You should be familiar with the words, "Approved" "Not approved" "Let me see what i can do" " I cant help it"
9. You should also know some good trainers who can conduct the induction for new joinees.
10. You should also know how to collect the appraisal form and send it to company store room.
11. You should also know that if you do all the above, you need not worry about your own confirmation, ratings, and increments, It will be taken care by your supervisors atleast they too have the right to do some work, apart from eating peanuts & playing games on computers.

In my opinion and experience, I would like to see the following qualities in a HR person:
1. S/he should have excellent human relationing skills - a people's person
2. S/he should be a 'change agent' - embrace and lead change (which is permanent)
3. Should be a good listener with excellent analytical and negotiation skills
4. Should be empathetic (enabling him / her to understand problems - once problem / issue is understood, its easier to come up with alternate solutions) and last but not the least
5. S/he should have excellent communications and articulation skills.

`Hi friends,
All the points narrated above are essential for the successful functioning of a HR professional and most of us are aware of them. However, I would like to add a few points which are generally not discussed. The Head of HRD is a very important person in any organization & he/she can do a lot for the betterment of the staff and workers and at the same time can be a key instrument for the all round development of the organization. The points are:
1. Be a good human being.
2. Understand the problems of the workers and find ways & means to mitigate their hardships.
3. Benefit of the doubt should always be granted to the less privileged.
4. Workers are the backbone of the organization & they should be given due importance.
5. Last but most important point is, before we initiate any action, we should be 100 per cent sure that what ever we do is in the best interest of the organization/company who employ us.
