I think we all HR profesionals need

Good human relationship skills

high emotional quotient

team building and effective communication skills

 

Though this is an age of specialization,  HR is still mainly a multi-disciplinary area. If only we look for the fundamental skill for a HR professional, it is undoubtedly Skill in Human Relations. This includes broadly the skills of Leadership, Team Building and Management, Initiative and Planning, Communication and Motivation.

 HR is the medium between the company and its employees relationship.As an HR, you must work both for the company and its people, such as motivate the peoples to such extent that they work more in less salary etc.

2.  Learn the methodology to create and implement a balanced scorecard system

3. Analyze requirements and create Job and competence map formats

4. Understand their roles in organization and their goals to achieve

6. To use TAT and PSI effectively & you should go for a
