Their love for organizing/ putting things in order

HR managers deal with a lot of paperwork and all of it needs to be arranged and kept in order for any future references. A person who shares a love for such activities is a good choice for the job. There are onboarding formalities, too many resumes that the company keeps receiving, travel & conveyance documents, reimbursement claims etc. all these need to be organized in a smart fashion for a smooth functioning of the business, so Zallery recommends hiring someone who loves to do it.

Dispute resolving skills

No matter the size of the business, multiple people sharing a space often becomes dispute inviting. All these disputes are reported to the HR, the HR needs to handle it in a way that the both parties feel valued and the overall output doesn’t suffer from this dispute. Of course in matters such as discrimination basis gender, preference, religion, etc. the policies need to be reviewed and these situations may call for a stern decision, but if the dispute is small and calls for a conversation with both parties, the HR needs to be capable to host such conversations.

Team bonding initiatives

HR’s are known to be the team that brings people at work together to celebrate occasions. The enthusiasm to initiate such get-togethers that help in team-building and uplifts team spirit is key while hiring HR managers. They need to be suggestive of team-building exercises and should promote inclusivity from all the departments.
