Dear Srikanth,

Greetings!!!!

HR set up is a daunting task and involve many steps.

First step is to have a feel of the organization and start being acceptable to your employees.

Since you are talking about HR set up, so i am assuming that there is no HR presently in the organization.

You should also look at the practices which are followed normally, because even if there is no HR , there must be a set of HR practices which would have been being followed.

Next comes, preparation of literature such as policies, employee handbook, procedures, manuals etc. We can help you in this but ours is a paid service, in which you get all relevant literature customized to the needs of your organization. You can write us a mail to [Login to view], if you need more info on that.

Once you have necessary literature in place, you start implementing that and updating that as you may require from time to time. Implementation and acceptance of policies depend upon how you handle it because normally it is faced with resistance on matters such as attendance, timeliness, leaves, discipline etc. and with welcome on matters such as salary realignment , motivation, employee welfare etc. It's like pampering and punishing at the same time. If you are able to pull that off , you will be a good HR manager in the end.

Hello Shrikant,

Besides the above notable replies, I would suggest you first have a feel of the organization, their working systems and their expectations from you as an HR.

Suggest to follow the following steps then. This was suggested by one of the members from Cite HR itself. You will also learn a lot by reading similar queries on this site and replies thereof. Just go to research column.

Step 1 – To maintain all employee records (excel format)

Step 2 – To maintain each employee’s personnel file (scanned copies & hard copies)

Step 3 - Defining Organisation structure with departmental and individual’s job responsibilities

Step 4 - Recruitment and selection process

Step 5 - Leave management system (Create policy & implement)

Step 6 - Training and development (Training needs, Training calendar and Organize trainings)

Step 7 - Employee grievance handling & Employee engagement

Step 8 - Performance Appraisal System (Create policy & implement)

Step 9 - Employee hand book ( It will contain company’s policies, norms, regulations and general conduct within an Organization)

Step 10 - Future Strategies for achieving company and individualistic goals

Hope it helps!

Best regards,
