How Can I Transform a Construction Company to MNC Standards in Just One Month?

Hi, good morning all of you. I'm Vani, working as an HRM at a construction company. I'm new to the firm. They recruited me for better implementation in the company. They have given me a target to make the company like an MNC immediately. I have only one month to implement this, and my package will depend on achieving this target. Please suggest any tips for better implementation.

Hello Vani,

Your post is vague. What is your company? What does it deal in? What do they mean by 'to be like an MNC'? You need to understand precisely what they want. What is their vision and philosophy about HR? Unless you can figure out their vision in precise terms, you cannot work in the right direction.

I understand your position. Here are some things you can begin with:

1. Understand which companies they idealize or want to be like. Help them to be specific by suggesting names of a few companies, whether competitors or well-known MNCs according to them. Use their standards and benchmarks whenever you need to suggest a new change.

2. Begin by giving your HR policies a new look and feel. Ensure they are approved and communicated to each employee. These policies must then be adhered to by everyone.

3. Look at your organizational structure and reshape it if needed.

4. Develop Job Descriptions (JDs), Competencies, Key Result Areas (KRAs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and a Performance Management System.

5. Utilize the Behavioral Event Interviewing technique for interviewing new candidates.

6. Create a Learning and Development plan for everyone.

7. Develop a plan to upgrade the HR team by having them attend HR field-related training programs. A strong and knowledgeable HR team can contribute in a significant way.

There's a lot you can do. All the best.
