Abstract
This study identifies the evolving profile of HR professionals in terms of their background and role and functions in the industry. Unlike in the past, HR professionals entered into the profession through direct recruitment and are qualified in the field. Their employment conditions are at par with other professional groups. Responsive to employees they integrate talent management initiatives with business strategies. They believe that performance management, training and development, staffing, compensation and workforce planning are the most critical areas that contribute to the business strategy. Employees perception and support for HR initiatives, availability of budget, CEOs perception and support and availability of headcount for HR activities limit their effectiveness.
