Hey Shalini,
That's an intresting topic,
It would be more discriminating to say that only women or only men would suits for HR position,
I would say it only depends on the behaviour & the quality of the persons skill to enter in to this particular dept,
Not all the positions in the present society are gender based, then why hr?
What generally said is Women are considered more pleasing, Patient & soft when compared to men, Im not saying always, it is most of the times, since HR is connected to people relations this qualities sometimes adds a great value.
Another quality is openness people would share more with the girls,when compared with guys, I strongly agree as this is my personal experience.
so I would say that there are some inherent quality which leads women when compared to a men.

Dear All,
As rightly said both are better, we can see around us that may opportunites are taken by women, it is a good sign of development,
I would like to congratulate the person who has brought up this subject of who is better in HR - Men or Women. It is bascially the debating sub.
Who will win nobody nows.
Thanks & Regards

Shalini, After 35 years in HR I can assure you that gender is not what counts. You can have as many degrees as possible in any amount of disciplines within HR BUT if you don't care for people or have no empathy for them then you are not meant for HR. I am not saying that educational qualifications or experience are not considered...what I am saying is that if you do not have this inherent quality within you then all else is merely a veneer.

Dear Ms. Shalini,
We cant describe which gender is suitable for handling HR. As an academician i observe that, interest among the students about HR is getting reduced. Because at present the importance given to salary rather than satisfaction. At the outset there is a talk within the students side that there is no value for HR field.
But "without taste the sugar we cant feel the sweetness" as like that "what ever gender it may once they have interest in HR, definitely there is a good opportunity is available for them." But Only the experience will mould the person.

Dear Shalini,
I do not understand what prompts some of us to waste time on topics for which either there is no answer or to find an answer is futile.
Then, a few of your questions are not worded as questions.
Then again such an urgency has been expressed as if some important office work is held up for want of guidance.
We all supplement and complement each other in so many ways. What more is required to understand. A sheer waste of time.

Hi Shalini,
I too believe that this topic is not relevant for a study. Even if the verdict goes in favour of either gender, can you say, "all companies should have HR people only of this gender?" If you cannot utilise the results of a study, there is no point going ahead with it. In reality if you ae considering an appointment between a male and female, it would finally boil down to who is good among the candidates being considered, rather than what your study concludes. Also, if you say your study results, do not favour either gender, then again the results are not useful.
I think you could do better to study the responses based on the qualities required for HR irrespective of gender.
Best regards,
Akbar

Hi Shalini,
I wouldn't comment who's better but based on the behaviour of the person.
Women is considerd better as they have the soft behaviour , like being more patient, soft, pleasing, less tempered, and ability to handle and counsel. As Mothers are more approachable in a family than the fathers (most of the times) so also in an organisation, the women HR is more approachable and can handle many things at time.

Agreed, that some of the inherent qualities in women are an integral part of HR but HR can never work if it is not tough besides being soft. Remember, need to implement the discipline as well. It's the same way as a motherly love and a tough hand of a father.
So, I believe, HR deptt. should be a mix and match of male as well as females to balance it out.
Wat say, guys?

Dear all,
I have read all those comments. :shock:
Somehow Shalini’s questions are irrelevant but still it’s frequently asked questions. Many people use to say that HR is made for Girls only. Here I would like to appreciate MSR. Mariyappan, Mariaa & PVQ’s comments.
I believe, sometimes gender matters or sometimes not.
Gender matters when we are looking for some particular industries like construction, real estate, manufacturing ect.
In this case we have to deal with lower levels, workers & etc. then men are the best. As I think, usually women don’t prefer to go to in these industries.
Otherwise this would be more discriminating to say who is better in HR. In my organization, I am the only female in HR. others are male. They are perfect for HR.
In a profession like HR you need to be patient, good listener, soft, cooperative, open & pleasing but apart from all these sometimes you also need to be bit rude, strong & diplomatic. If men have these qualities then he is good for HR and if woman don’t have these qualities then not suitable for HR function. Apart from all these inherent qualities person should have relevant qualification & merit.
Thanks,
