Hello,
You do whatever HR needs to do! Honest but tricky statement.
HR jobs can be performed at two or three levels - Routine, Proactive, Innovative, and Inspired! Each needs your dedication and commitment anyway!
Whatever the level one operates at, one must remember that unless one "makes a difference," the people and the bosses may not notice. For that, you have to first check your job profile, if given by the company when you joined or later. Whether you have a defined job profile or not, you have to IDENTIFY the Key Result Areas in your job and prioritize your performance.
Also, find out the irritants in interactions and if these are in a way responsible for employees not giving their best. Are there issues of treatment meted out to employees by their superiors? Are there misbehavior issues? Are emoluments and statutory compliance (or the lack of these) becoming reasons for low performance?
In any case, reach out to employees, resolve all genuine grievances as they should be in quick time. Involve employees in organizational matters (at least such as concern them on a day-to-day level). Look at absenteeism, attrition, efficiency levels, and initiate corrective actions.
Your Boss asking you to do something noticeable, to me, only means:
- Attend to pending and ignored matters from both sides - the management as well as the employees.
- Do things that will INSPIRE employees to demonstrate "positivism" in their approach and put in value additive performance.
- Bring about qualitative improvement in interpersonal relationships and achieve better "work orientation" in the organization - whether by discipline management or bringing the employees around, attitudinally to a better way of relating with the organization.
- Identify Training Needs and do something by way of offering training inputs!
But do not implement without keeping your superiors informed and without obtaining their approvals.
Think about all that I have said, and if you need to ask more questions, do not hesitate! Remember, without challenges and without overcoming obstacles, there is no fun in life - at work or at home or even outside of it!
Cheer up!

Hello Everyone,
I need great help; I am an HR professional in a construction company.
I do everything an HR needs to do, but yet I don't get the recognition one should get after a good job. After speaking to my MD, she says bring something new or a change in the company which is noticeable.
Kindly help me out with this. I'd be really grateful to you guys.
Please, I am really in need!!
