Role Of HR Person In Hotel Industry

GAYA16
Hi,
I am Gaya and i have recently got appointed as an Executive HR in 4 star hotel, so can you all please help me know the roles and responsibility.
Also there is no Senior Hr manager who can guide me here. My reporting manager is the GM and when i go and try to seek help, he says he is unaware of HR area and its responsibilities and always tell me this is why i am hired to look after the area. I feel that i have chosen the wrong job for now, since there is no HR Manager here.
so seniors please help me out, i will be thankful to you, for all your support.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gaya
Don't think as you have chosen as wrong job. Ofcourse its quite difficult to work with no guidance for the people who doesn't have any experience.
But you can still take it as challenge and you can prove as you are the right person for the job
First of all you please share your Job Description based on those you will get good responses. If at all you dont have any JD then please discuss with the MD and ask him what to do.

Its not going to be a easy task but your willingness to learn will be a perfect start. Dont lose hope or create fear in yourself.
HR is interesting.
Wishing you all the best.

Hi JEEVARATHNAM ,
Thank you for sharing, but they have not shared any JD for me, and my appointment letter dosnt contain any JD, MD is busy and he dosnt visit frequently, so i didnt get chance to meet him in personal and discuss.
warm regards

Hi Nathrao,

The GM is contradicting himself when he says look after the area but not letting you do it.
Seek a meeting with the GM to get clarity.Before that get your self fully informed, up on hotel industry-laws relevant to it from HR angle,shortfalls in manning,security,fire precaution etc and give him a proper power point presentation-strengths,weaknesses and solutions which you feel are appropriate.
Confusion in your roles could create problems for the hotel in its functional side.
Move quickly to clarify and get clarifications on what is expected.
Prepare a JD for yourself which is current and valid for your role in hotel industry and ask for approval.
