Dear HR fraternity,
I want to open discussion on the issue that I am facing and perhaps many professional in their careers.
I have 4 years of experience as HR in IT industry, I worked for two IT companies that are ISO and CMM certified. This gave me an opportunity to work to design and implement HR policies on par with the quality process and procedures.
Recently I have changed my company and joined with another IT company. At the time of joining it was told to me that the company wants to build polices in HR department and want to go for the quality certification. I thought, I can implement the concepts which I have learned in my career and it is an opportunity for me to design some good policies.
After my joining I found that the company doesn’t have even some basic HR policies such as working hrs, leave policy and appraisal policy etc. and I don't have any work to do.
On the other hand my reporting head, who is associated with the company since from the incorporation date aged bit old feels what he says it is right. He maintains and implements the things as he likes and his interest/mood toward the employee.
This is keeping in a situation where I am unable to open my mouth and talk to any employee. So my position is almost dumb. He in fact treats his sub-ordinates very ill and often he claims himself as monarch.
The management is very good and the organization is very fast growing with head count of 180 employees on rolls at this time. At times I feel I am cheated. I have lot of ideas but not getting opportunity. When I spoke with few of my other colleagues they express similar view about our head.
I request all my HR-Colleagues to treat it as a case study and give your suggestions.

This type of situation occurs in many organisation. if your org. is good and fast growing means ur management is bit smart and can handle this thing very cleverly. so if i were in place of u........I just go and inform the behavior of ur senior. I wud not go all alone there I took all dissatisfied employees with me..........and complaint about the senior.........to the management......

Hang in there my dear friend, this is part of the industry and it will change in time. 180 employees dont meet your MAnager on a daily basis, they interact with you! Stand up and make the change.

Dear Caltex, He keeps on watching who is meeting me and asks what I spoke with them and he always sounds negative to my replay. It is faced by the other employees also, who are reports to him.

Two citations:
He is concerned
He is insecure about losing his hold on things.
I think you should have a "Sit Down" With him and finish it off.........I am sure that somewhere in him, he is a very good human being..........

I have exactly the similar situation but the only difference is that here my boss is the company MD himself. He would always poke his nose in every matter. He will not allow me to interact with anyone. Even now when I would go for an interview they are asking me what is my job role. So what should I do?

Hi Sai,
Though your problem seems to be very big, actually it is not that big. When I met HR colleagues from other Industry's in a meeting many of them have similar problem.
If I am at your situation, I respect my vertical head who is experienced and also well versed with the organization culture. I think his behavior some where linked with your organization culture demands.
Meany times it happens in growing organizations they have different roll in their mind at the recruitment but priorities will change quickly as per their business needs.
Time will solve your problem, wait for the time to project your HR-plans and how they helps the organization in smooth functioning in front of your management and make them understand the need for HR policies.
I wish you will get your time soon...... finally Learn good things from your Head...they may help you in your future.

Hi,
This is really very difficult when the top person in the company has doubt on you and it makes the working alomost dumb. If I would be at your place, I will never work for such kind of person. As you only said they dont have the basic policies incorporated in the organization how can you consider this as a good and growing organization. It is not a good place to work. You got a very good exposure in your previous company and here you are just making that experience "Good for Nothing". Before leaving the organization give it a last chance to improve the situation and if you see no chance of improvement. Explore the new horizon and make your experience worth for some really growing company.

Sunil,
The whole idea of posting the case study is to seek opinions to face the problem, rather going away from it. Even if I leave the organization some one else who is going to replace me in this position will face same problem.
In some cases the HR will have the commitment period with company and they management won't allow them to leave the company during the commitment period
