Comprehensive Insights on HR Work Activities, Employee Training, and Innovative HR Strategies

Dear all,

I am the HR of a newly born IT company, and I am the only HR personnel. I want to implement innovative HR tools and strategies for disciplines, leave management, employee attrition, retention, and engagement. Kindly suggest the proper way to achieve my goal.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Chetan,

This is often a dream job for any HR professional, so congratulations! You may want to start with setting up policies and procedures like leaves, office timings, attendance management, and issues related to laws. Then later you can start with employee engagement, training, and development, etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Chetan,

You can start with the following activities:

1) Employee handbook - which should include the code of conduct, office timings, policies, etc. (This will serve as the induction to the organization as well as the disciplinary function.)

2) Prepare a joining kit (Offer letter, appointment letter, Joining report, Interview report, Form F, Form 2 for gratuity & PF).

3) Work on HR policies (Leave, attendance, discipline, travel & accommodation, referral, PMS policy).

4) Letter formats - appointment, offer, promotion, appraisal, leave management, termination, contracts for IT trainees.

5) Set parameters while recruitment - also have set patterns for JD's.

6) Prepare a hierarchy of designations and prepare an organization hierarchy chart.

7) Study the local labor & industrial laws applicable to your company and comply with them.

If you need further guidance on any of the above, ask me. I will be happy to help.

Hello Sapna,

I really like your suggestion. Right now, I have joined a new company. It is a casting production company. I have good experience in the HR field, yet sometimes I find myself facing problems due to the lack of interest from my management.

I started with HR policies and useful formats like offer letters, appointment letters, etc. I have handled all job descriptions in a month, and now I am going to start employee engagement activities such as birthday celebrations, tours, picnics, and organizing some sports games.

Currently, I am focusing on the training part. I am preparing for induction training and other forms of training. I would appreciate your suggestions for this part. What other types of training can I arrange?

Thank you.
