Core Values of an HR Professional

This is something that has been in my mind for a long time. Do HR professionals need to imbibe any specific Values or principles that other employees need not necessarily have?

Especially in the wake of the recent global crisis, how have these values affected or changed the common HR folk? Is there a need to re-look at these values?

After foraging the internet and a lot of discussions with practicing HR professionals, I could summarize some of the Core Values that every HR pro should uphold. Of course, this is not the exhaustive list - but I found them most relevant.

  • Trust Worthy
  • Frankness
  • Objectivity
  • Empathy
  • Sincerity
  • Positivity
  •  
Do feel free to add any Value that I might have missed through the "comments" column given below. Also do check out these interesting reads from some top HR pros
