Dear All,
I am looking for straight forward, unbiased opinions on this topic.
BACKGROUND:
I am an entrepreneur running a 50 crore manufacturing and trading unit employing about 70 staff and 100 workers.
It was a family run setup with the MD making all HR and salary decisions and with direct access to most senior staff.
3 years ago we decided to create an HR department as we felt a growing company needed it. We hired an experienced HR manager and an assistant.
My question is :
After 3 years - while we have been able to streamline many of the policies etc. in the company and also streamlined channels of communication - our HR manager is almost universally disliked by majority of the staff. The manager attributes this fact to the cause that she has to implement all the disciplinary policies of the company (late coming, deductions, limits on loans etc.).
In general we are a relatively relaxed, profitable company and are giving regular minimum 10-12% annual increments to all staff besides good facilities.
My question is - is it normal for the HR department and HR manager to be generally disliked by most people in the company ? We have no experience about this so am asking this question. Please share your views.
tks - Andy
