Hi Sagar,

I read about your subject, and I suggest that initially, you should establish connections with others. This means, firstly, build social relations with people in the organization. Understand how they operate within their organization, what techniques they use to achieve their targets, and how they enhance their organizational productivity.

When a person is engrossed in their business, they often have little time to think about other matters. Therefore, my advice to you is to take some time, contemplate your destination carefully, and then proceed to your point. Otherwise, you may witness many people collapsing rapidly.

So, establish relationships first and then proceed. Wishing you all the best.

Hi Sagar,

It would not be legal for an HR to share the Grading policy document as it involves budgetary, legal, and business model-related decisions. Hence, I suggest the following:

Prepare a document based on your own ideas according to the situational requirements. Keep it vague initially to enhance your learning points.

Benchmark a company or a group of companies, perhaps your competitors or industry leaders in your vertical.

Then, start approaching seniors in your field to validate your document.

Involve extensive research in the process. Initially, you may not receive any inputs, so conceptualize and communicate.

I have attached links to certain documents for your reference:
