What are the basic and mandatory rules that should be followed by any HR professional for setting up an HR department in the manufacturing as well as service industry?
Great, sir. Valuable information. I am a new General Manager wanting to set up an HR Department in my manufacturing company. This will help me a lot.
Kindly let me know how many people are required to be in an HR Department for these activities and how the total manpower is typically related to the total number of HR Department personnel.
Thank you so much for your kind appreciation. Regarding your query on the total number of headcounts required in the HR Department, please note that without knowing the manufacturing process, current available headcount (on-roll and off-roll), structure for present manpower, current available vendors/partners for HR processes, status of compliance and industrial relations (IR), etc., it is not possible for me or any learned members to advise on the required headcounts in the HR department.
Further, you may seek help from a professional consultant in your area to set up the HR department and determine the exact number of headcounts required in your factory/establishment.
The setup and number of HR professionals required depend on the industry, type of business, technology employed in the manufacturing process, shift working, all India setup, or only in one state, etc., which is not provided by you. If you provide this information, then only some meaningful value addition is possible.
