Dear sir, I am a final year student of PM & IR. My concern is that my experience with the HR departments of a few sectors I have worked in (as a part of academic requirement and Summer internship), has not given me a good impression about the way HR functions. It could be also that the companies I've been to (all are reputed ones), did not have good HR practices in place. In all these organisation, one common thing I noticed is that, HR as a function is sidelined; it is always the Marketing/Sales depts which have an upper hand; others do not seem to acknowledge what HR does... the reasons for my dissatisfaction with the function goes on nd on.
Considering that I have to sit for the final placement processes in a month's time, I am not sure which sector I'd prefer. The only thing I know I want is that I need to start with an organisation where HR is a distinguished and respected function, and has a major impact on the overall decision making. It should give me the freedom to try out things in the way I think it'd work out, and give me a chance to create some difference.
Pls advise me on how to go about making a decision on which sector to join. Also, give me some inputs on the companies that would fulfill my expectations briefly mentioned above.
