New HR Executive in a Startup: How Can I Create an Effective Work Environment?

I have landed a job as an HR executive in a startup organization with 25 employees. The organization is product-based and specializes in game development products. Could you please guide me on how to establish the most effective work environment in the company? I am currently in a dilemma on how to proceed with the best practices. Please advise me on how to handle this situation and what steps I should take to achieve the best outcomes. Kindly provide updates on any presentations or links that may be helpful.

Thanks & Regards.

What exactly do you need? Start little by little and step by step. First, implement all mandatory statutory requirements, then move on to employee benefits, policy framing, HR policies, career progression, etc.

Congratulations on your challenging role, Kumutha. Working in a startup organization is a great opportunity for learning and experimenting. First, ensure that you have all legal requirements and documents in place, such as PF, ESI, S&E, etc. Second, maintain proper records of all employees' documents, including appointment contracts and educational mark sheets. Frame the best HR policies; the internet is full of this stuff, but be careful: "One man's meat is another man's poison."

Every organization has something unique in its DNA that sets it apart from the rest. Find it and build on it. Last but most importantly, pay adequately and pay on time.
