I am yet to come across a really good HR manager in my career. Dr. Pathak - Dean of IIT, Mumbai - had once said in Persistent that in a knowledge based industry like ours, the real HR manager is the Manager.
And I recently read this article which shares exactly my views on role of HR managers in IT.
- A large number of HRD managers are not professionally qualified to handle HR roles. They lack adequate professional preparation. Even the institutions that prepare HR managers are not doing the right things. Thc curricula is not right and preparation is inadequate.
- HRD managers of today do very little human resource development and do a lot of personnel administration, including estate management and welfare activities.
- A large part of their time is spent on recruitment, performance appraisals, compensation surveys, administration and management.
- There is only a change in title and there is no real human resources development taking place.
It could not be better said. From my perspective, they dont need 'H' in thier title, i.e., they are just "Resource Management", but dont really have anything to do with the "human" aspects.
