New HR in Real Estate: What's Your First Duty in a New Company?

Got a job as an HR in a real estate company. I am new to the company, so I want to know what's the first duty of an HR professional?

The Role of HR in Measuring Productivity

The first and foremost duty of HR is to measure human productivity. After measuring, HR needs to find ways to improve productivity.

Improving and Maintaining Productivity

Improvement in productivity levels or maintaining human productivity is achieved through proper recruitment, training and development, career planning, welfare programs, conducting various organizational surveys, and so on.

Above all, human productivity is also maintained when a culture of measurement is fostered in the company. To foster a culture of measurement, HR needs to measure business performance on various counts. Later, these measures of business performance need to be assigned to various Heads of Departments (HODs) so that they are accountable.

Creating Standard Measures in Real Estate

You are from the real estate industry. As an HR professional, create standard measures of performance to facilitate easy comparison between two or more civil projects.

Understanding HR Policies in a Real Estate Company

Congratulations! The first priority is to understand the HR policies prevailing in the organization. Since yours is a real estate company, understand the following:

• Number of employees
• The recruitment policy followed
• Salary structure
• Organizational hierarchy
• Coordination with related departments

Apart from the above, you need to build a good rapport with all the departments.

May joy be with you.

First Duty of HR in Real Estate

The first duty of HR is to prioritize HR functions outside of a regular Generalist profile. In the case of real estate, I feel that compliance and training for the marketing team would be the initial scope of work. Recruitment may not be a priority as market growth and the expansion of the department/team may be doubtful.
