Dear Sindhu,

If you feel that you should engage yourself in other aspects of the HR such as welfare measures, employee engagement activities, workshop you have to take initiative and talk to your reporting authority on the same.

What exactly you want to know? You want total HR activities or employee welfare relative?.
