Women and HR Profession

Women are more Successful than Men as a HR Professional beacause listening, understanding, empathising and helping comes more naturally to women.
Do you agree with this fact?

Hmmm.. As a married man, don't agree with "listening ...comes naturally to women". Are biwis not women, if that is true? Power talks. Often HR wallows in 'control' mindset. Power has no gender bias. It corrupts equally, men and women alike. Ask any woman on top; she knows

it depends on individual..........weather man or women.

Though success is a relative term, women certainly have some advantage on these skills.

Why just HR ? I think women are successful in every profession because of all the qualities you mentioned and because they are smart and intelligent !!

I think women react emotionally faster than men and this turns out to be advantageous to them as HR PROFESSIONALS ....but as far as listening, understanding, empathising n helping goes.....it depends upon person to person....... to be a successful HR PROFESSIONAL .....all u need is a good mix of FEMININE AND MASCULINE TRAITS ......so anybody who possess it (be it a man or woman) would be successful ......

I think both genders would do equally well at the job. :-) No argument there. I've seen my friends, male and female, excelling at their HR posts. It's not who's better at it, but rather who can be more effective with using the talents GOD provided each one of the two genders separately and distinctly. Women are equipped by an all-wise and knowing God with the distinct ability to NURTURE growth - development - maturity in a person. Nurturing or the mother instinct as commonly known therefore is a woman's basic function. That, as I understand it, can work wonders in a people-oriented job as HR. While the men, as is generally known, are more adept with facts and figures thus are far more capable of executing firm policies, rules, and company regulations decisively. I think the two can work together complementing each other 's roles. One can fill-in the other person's weakness with his or her own strength and vice-versa. That can be a power-packed duo to beat!

As a perennial cynic myself, will you permit me to ask 'do all women qualify?' would there be no 'degree of difference' if they happen to be Single, married and divorced? I dont think we can generalize this, can we?
