job_connect_consultancy,
Thanks for replying to my post. I am not sure whether you understood my query completely.. However i would like to reply to some points raised in your query
***If you start distinguishing between good and bad companies , my suggestion is you should run your own Venture then working in under any one.**
I dont think so.. there are lots of good companies which have solid hr practices. Even among the IT companies there is Infosys where HR practices are crap (* plz dont give me the number of awards they won..its people's opinion that matters") while companies like accenture which has good hr practices. Now if you want to start your career as an HR with an IT company, there will be a huge differance between the outlook and exposure you get with either of these.
**No company is bad at all. Even a grocery shop , a shop in slum area , a pan bidi shop , all are good. All these teach some thing.***
correct..u wil learn a lot of things.. but the amount of learning, the exposure, the experience etc will vary when u start with a grocery and when u start with say a P&G though both deal with fmcg stuff. i hope u agree. the stuff which you are talking happens only in bollywood
***Its the employees who work there brings the company in Goodwill. People even don't respect any sales guy who as an uninvited guest enters in any office. But when the sales man provides him with the solution and client is happy, even that client himself respect that sales man. No matter how fresh or experienced he is.***
its a very generic statement.. all know that.. but for a person to be good, i am sure you would agree that one of the factors is his exposure, his peer group and the environment where he work. its then that his real skills come out. if you work in a company which is very hierarchical and all you do is boot licking the boss, however good you are , there would be a limit to your growth
**All employees this HR is needed only for recruitment and for salary distribution at time. So there is noting wrong even in that company too.**
This line really made me question your exposure and attitude towards HR. if u really think HR is just for paying salaries and recruitment, then please dont read further.I would reccomend that you read Human resource champions by Dave ulrich And i hope that one day you would realise that HR is much much much more than just salary and recruitment. so much more that, now such stuff is outsourced in most companies and is no longer taken care of by corporate hr
***When they asked you how you going to put that to management it is very much genuine question . Have you realised, did you realise how. You are doing summer internship, you have not even faced situation when HR Heads need to sit with other department heads.***
It is indeed a genuine question and i completely understand it. but if the company culture is such that there is so much of lack in trust in HR, that more than half of the time HR has is spent in explaining stuff to people, why they should be adopting it,if the first thing that comes in the mind of HR is how on earth are we going to explain this to people then i have serious doubts on credibility of HR in that company. It means that there is an inherent lack of trust in HR. when the company comes out with its quarterly results, if all the managers of the company ask the finance department show us the proof, give us the break up etc and if half of the finance teams time goes in explaining that to people, then i am sure you would understand the amount of loss of efficiency in that department
***Complaining is very easy , but fining solution is very difficult.**
true.. but the point is there should be a culture that tries to find solutions instead of mopping the dust under the carpet. that makes the entire diffrance
**If you want to learn be in that company only. There is always some thing to learn in every orgainzation .**
No, i will not be in that company.. even my seniors from earlier batches advised me against the company
**You must find the opportunity . No one will come and give you**
true.. this is something that i have learnt very early in life
This post is by no means to be rude. Its just to clarify my intentions. and i still stand by my point. Where you start your career makes a huge differance. and to any HR aspirant reading this post, please research your interests, the comapnies and the companies wrk culture before making a jump. It will make a huge differance.
Thanks :D
