Dear Madiha,

There are several problems that a newly established HR department can face. Among these are:

1. Failure to realize the due importance of HR practices.
2. A non-strategic approach by the organization's management, which can result in costly failures of plans.
3. Compatibility issues between the policies made by the HR department and other organizational policies.
4. Lack of skilled HR practitioners.
5. Ignorance among employees about HR practices.
6. Financial constraints.

I hope you find this information useful. If there is any confusion, we can discuss it further.

Hi there, I am an HR professional with about 15 years of experience and a start-up specialist. I have faced real situations that I can share with you. I would need to have some sort of questionnaire from your side to make this happen for you. You may either post it here or send me an email at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Challenges in Start-ups

To start with, a start-up, apart from having recruitment issues, will have lots of other challenges that will eventually shape the company's culture, among other things. It's very crucial and a great challenge for the HR person to handle that situation. You need to build everything from scratch—policies, processes, culture, and value definitions. HR vision for the company and a whole lot of things.

I hope this will set you thinking. Do write to me when you feel ready.

Warm wishes,
Prasad

I think this is a very vague topic. I would suggest you to go for some specific topics, like HR audit, HR balanced scorecard, competency mapping, etc.
