Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is also an emerging field. My question is, which field is good for women? I, being one, am lively and like to talk to people and analyze their behavior. Regards. 11th May 2014 From India, New Delhi Acknowledge(0)Amend(0) Add Reply → Start New → dharanidamodaran 3 2 usually women have good judging power... they will suit well in recruitment and selection process as the right candidate must be choosen for the job.... 11th May 2014 From India, Chennai Acknowledge(3)VMTVSKAmend(0) ankitchaturvedi 399 3 As rightly mentioned by you, HR itself is a very big and challenging field. You should not choose your career in HR just because the job profile is based in an office, but because of your knowledge, your willingness to learn, and your ability to face challenges. Since you specified that you like interacting with and assessing people around you, I believe you can consider roles in recruitment, as an HR Generalist, or as a certified trainer. I hope I have contributed a little to help you clarify your thoughts for your future career. Wish you ALL THE BEST for your future. Regards 12th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(1)Amend(0) adityasoak 67 4 I cannot fathom the very basic question: Which HR domain is good for women? What does that mean? Why is the question not 'which HR domain is good/exciting/challenging'—irrespective of explicitly mentioning gender? 12th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(3)MEAmend(0) saiconsult 1931 5 Twinkle, I appreciate the self-confidence that oozes out of your statement "I am lively, like to talk to people, analyze their behavior." You need to make the best of these qualities to make a difference in the work environment and quality of work life for the employees. This means your liveliness shall make the work environment vibrant, your talking to people shall build bridges of communication between the management and the employees, and your skills in behavioral analysis shall lead to finding truth and solving problems at the workplace. This sets you apart from others. All these qualities are necessary for any HR function. It is your aptitude and natural inclination for a particular function that makes you excel in it, but not due to any fact that women are good at certain HR functions. Hope this clears some confusion. Regards, B. Saikumar In-House HR & IR Advisor 12th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(1)TVAmend(0) Fabcat 14 6 There are different domains in HR itself, like training and development, recruitment and selection, appraisal, promotion, and retirement benefits. CSR is also an emerging field. My question is, which field is good for women? I, being one, am lively and like to talk to people and analyze their behavior. I'm a bit disheartened to see this question posted by who I think is someone born around 1990. Unless you ask about manual labor atop some isolated mountain, there is no domain that should be seen as "better for women," especially in HR. Try not to get into the whole gender-specific role compartmentalization if you can, and broaden your horizons. That being said, however, I do appreciate that you've listed your positive attributes as well. All the best! 14th May 2014 From India, Mysore Acknowledge(3)ADAmend(0) saiconsult 1931 7 Twinkle, to be a little star in whatever you do, do not start with limiting beliefs. There are numerous examples of women in the corporate world who broke the glass ceiling and carved a niche for themselves in business and industry. Read about them. It is because they believed that there is no responsibility that they cannot shoulder and no function that they cannot handle. No doubt, there are certain traits that come naturally to women. For example, women are naturally inclined to empathize, tend, communicate, and care, etc. But these traits have universal application in any field, be it HR, administration, or customer service, where you need to deal with people, whether as an employee or customer. Make the best of these traits to lend a positive impact to the functions you handle. All the best. Regards, B. Saikumar In-House HR & IR Advisor 15th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(0)Amend(0) [email protected] 27 8 I will request you not to underestimate the power of a "woman." As far as career choice is concerned, each and every individual is different and needs to get into a profession of his or her choice. HR is a vast field. As a senior, I will advise you to start as a generalist and then specialize over a period of time. IR, CSR, Recruitment, etc., are various sub-functions, and all of them are equally important. Take care, Sourav Mukherjee 19th May 2014 From India, Bangalore Acknowledge(0)Amend(0) hopegovind 87 9 Without any prejudices, I find the question offensive. When we talk about men's and women's equality, why should there be two different sets of parameters? Is it the case that only men can do something and women cannot, or that women should not do it? Well, except for industrial relationship management (IR roles) in factories, women can choose any domain. However, areas popular among women include employee engagement, HR operations, employee welfare management, training and development, and recruitment. 20th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(0)Amend(0) Twinkle V. 2 10 When I posted the query, I had no intention of differentiating the capabilities or skills of women and men. Being a fresher in the HR industry, I wanted to understand the domain with more transparency. I do not understand where these gender bias statements are coming from. If you read my query carefully, it nowhere mentions that women in any stream are less capable than men. On this website, there are many capable and experienced HR managers who are always there to help a fresher. In this thread, some people are coming up with gender bias statements, which show what they perceive by reading the query. It's just a matter of perception. For those who have guided me and not perceived my query in a negative manner, I thank you very much! 20th May 2014 From India, New Delhi Acknowledge(1)DRAmend(0) hopegovind 87 11 No comments. Asking the question with the title "Which domain in HR is better for women?" prompted many members to reply. Someone rightly responded by stating, "Please tell which domain in HR is better," which justifies itself. 20th May 2014 From India, Mumbai Acknowledge(0)Amend(0) vikinge2 2 12 Talent Acquisition and Psychology in HR I believe that Talent Acquisition is crucial when analyzing people. You can incorporate psychology by using psychometric testing methods like MBTI, 16PF, Johari Window, and BARS. Gamification and Cloud are popular buzzwords these days, so integrating them into a core HR structure would be beneficial and provide better insights into your goals and aspirations. Training and Development Consider focusing on Training and Development, which includes programs like "Train the Trainer." It's important not to be swayed by the common belief that there is a specific niche for women in HR. As Steve Jobs said, "Love your job, and you will feel content and happy." Even John Lennon's mother advised him to be happy. Motivation and Morale Regarding motivation and morale theories, morale is directly proportional to productivity. The key is to be happy in whatever you do, and you will reach the zenith of success. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
