Hiearachy Level In Hr Department - Ppt Download

What is the hierarchy level (designation-wise) in an organization with a staff of 240 employees? After completing the management trainee program, what designation can be offered to an employee in the HR department?

Dear Shanky Choudhary,

In regards to your query, the hierarchy can be divided into three different levels viz Senior Management, Middle Management, and Junior Management. The Senior Management will consist of designations or roles from the head of the departments to leaders like CEO, COO, etc. The middle management will consist of designations from Manager to Senior Manager roles who are responsible for executing the plans of the company. The junior management will have designations from an officer to Assistant Manager who would actually be doing the groundwork.

In making a functional org chart, you should have information relating to the reporting structure of an individual. This will help you to exactly know what kind of work that person does and how it contributes to the overall goals. For example, a liaison person may report to a CEO, but his designation would just be an executive. His contribution to the overall goals might be very critical. So, he may be placed down with all the other executives, but since his work is critical to the functioning of the organization, you may consider him at a middle management level.

What I have said is very generalist in nature because I don't have information or details about your company. However, if you wish that I should help you in preparing the org chart, I need some more details about your company. Since I work for a consulting company, I will need information on how other companies in your industry would have designed their organizational structure.

If you require any further information, you can call me on 022 41230427 or email me at [shankar@eruditesolutions.in](mailto:shankar@eruditesolutions.in). Please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for getting back, Krishnan.

Regarding my query, I am inquiring about the hierarchy levels in HR. If an employee is currently a management trainee with 2 years of experience in General HR, what would be the next level we could offer them?

Greetings,

The hierarchy defines the level of responsibility delivered. Here's a suggestion that might help you analyze further. Please consider the level of experience required to deliver the job while determining the band and designation. The expertise and education needed, time required for training, availability of the skill, and impact of errors are a few areas to measure.

I got these hierarchy levels from the internet. I hope this will be somewhat helpful to you. Seniors, please guide if any changes are needed.

1. President HR
2. Vice President HR
3. Director HR
4. Deputy Director HR
5. Assistant Director HR
6. Executive HR
7. Manager HR
8. Deputy Manager HR
9. Assistant Manager HR
10. Senior Officer HR
11. Officer HR
12. Junior Officer HR
13. HR Assistant
14. HR Trainee

The hierarchy must be based on the total manpower in the organization, nature of business (i.e., manufacturing or service), promotion policy, and HR manpower.

If the organization has a manpower strength between 250 to 500, the suggested hierarchy is as follows:

Top Management:
1) General Manager - HR
2) Chief Manager - HR

Middle Management:
1) Manager - HR
2) Deputy Manager - HR

First-line Supervisors:
1) Assistant Manager - HR
2) Executive - HR

Working Category:
1) Senior Secretary
2) Secretary
3) Senior Assistant
4) Assistant

Hi, I have been a Human Resource Assistant for more than 6 years in this company (academe). We have the Executive Vice President & Human Resource Director, then our Human Resource Head, and we are 5 Human Resource Assistants. I am the senior among the five with the number of years. Currently, the HR Director and the HRD Head plan to appoint me as the Secretary of the Human Resource Director.

I am confused. Is it a promotion or demotion? Would this not drag me away from my HR career path being appointed as a secretary? Please help.

Thanks,
Naomi

Hi Shanky,

It depends on the organization, its manpower attrition rate, etc. Normally, the structure is as follows:

- Officer - HR [junior to senior]
- Executive - HR [junior to senior]
- Manager - HR [Assistant to Senior]
- General Manager - HR [Assistant to Senior]
- Vice President - HR [Assistant to Senior]
- President / Head - HR
- Director - HR

Regards,

Hi Naomi,

It's a promotion. Whoever is in the department may get approval of all formats and reports from you.

Recently, we have promoted a senior engineer to the departmental head of electrical engineering. In that department, deputy managers are also present. The question arises: what designation or level should be given to the department head? A one-level hike would make him an assistant manager, a two-level hike would elevate him to deputy manager, and a three-level hike would promote him to manager.

Hi,

I am making an organizational chart, and I have a question. Can anyone help me? My question is: will the Assistant Manager role come first, or will the Regional Manager role come first?

Hi All,

As a small company of under 10, what level of HR should we have?

Dear HR friend,

You can place them in HR Junior Executive. If any experience is available, HR Executive, then Sr. HR Executive.
