Dear All,
I am a bit confused on the issue of "Women & HR scenario in India"
please revert with your views on my findings..With All my respect to
womenhood or Femine spirit there are certain questions that are
troubling me.
If you look around you will see lot of software companies hiring
females for HR positions. There are lot of companies where in only
females are in HR. So many companies you will see where in HR is
delibarately asked as female. I don't have any question on any one's
criteria of selection, but why so. Is it that the HR profile is such
companies is a domain of female .Or is it that these companies want
to hire females for a very routine job like filling up induction
forms or arranging interviews etc , where in satisfying male
candidate for too long in this boardum is too difficult.
Very honestly what I have seen very few females remain with the HR
profile after 5 years. I will tell you simple criteria for selecting
HR stream by females in Management school, its very simple. Marketing
will always have pressure. Finance will need lot of hardwork and
market is very voletile. Where as HR is simple and its sitting in AC
room and ordering people. Secondly females are preferred in HR by
some cosmetic companies, so chances are very high that females will
definately get jobs . Join some IT company on handsome salary, get
married to someone who draws more handsome salary and say bye bye to
HR field. As there is no more need to get into job. The point here I
want to make is HR is not selected by these females as profession for
life but for convinience or way out to get setttled and become
wealthy instantly. I am sure you all will find so many examples of
this sort around. And these examples are abound.
Females don't opt for jobs where there are IR (Industrial Relations-
Unions etc ) are issues, because there you have to work hard and your
HR skills are tested.
Where as these software companies give some goody-goody profiles to
female dalls to make dalls as well as companies happy.
Its not ok till here. The most disturbing fact is there are so many
skilled and deserving boyes around who don't get openings in HR field
because of this sick mentality and there carriers are ruined. There
are so many good HR professionals around who are not picked by IT
companies beasue they are MALEs or they don't have any IT experience
background.
Somewhere I think this vicious circle needs to be broken, so only
talent will prevail,succeed and get rewarded, let it be male or
female. I think HR is a profession and should be successful carrier
for those who come to it by choice and determination to go along with
long and not for those who use it initially to test fruits of heavy
salary and then don't want to remain with it or divorce it when their
means are over.
I hope with due respect to womenhood all will contribute very
impersonnally and nutrally as these are my finding . I don't mind
changing my openion after understaning any logical and convincing
openion from you all.
Waiting for your feedback.....
