A human resources professional’s main concern is recruiting employees who are fit for a company’s present and future. Depending on where you work, your responsibilities may include everything from hiring and firing to training, benefits and salary negotiations.

But being a good human resources manager isn’t just about recruiting the right people. It’s about making sure they are happy and productive in their jobs — and above all, it is about retaining them in the company.

After your tenth, you can go into any stream of your choice in 10+2, and then do graduation. B.Com. or BBA will be better as you need to go for MBA after that. You’ll need a specialization in Personnel Management/Human Resource Management or an MPM (Masters in Personnel Management) or a 2-year Diploma in Human Resource Development.
