Seeking Guidance: How Can I Transition from HR in Civil Projects to a New Industry?

Dear Respected Senior, Please guide me. I have been working as an HR executive for the last 5-6 years in road projects (Civil), but I do not have a good understanding of HR policies and statutory compliance implementations, etc. So, dear sir, please properly guide me on the key responsibility areas of HR and how I can transition from the current industry to another. Please, sir, provide me with your proper guidance.

Thank you.

Hi, you claim to have worked as an HR Executive for 6 years. What are your roles and responsibilities as an HR Executive? What are your day-to-day tasks? Changing industries will not be a solution. You can also formulate HR policies in your current organization (Civil Sector), handle statutory compliance, etc. Do you face any restrictions in implementing HR policies in the current industry? Most of the time, it all depends on the efforts and intentions of the individual towards the job that will bring the desired result. You can formulate some HR policies based on your current experience and also based on your organization's requirements and present them to your management for approval. If you have any doubts, you can present them here for more value addition.

Road construction is an evergreen industry and will have a greater scope in the coming days. The nature of the industry is changing with more mechanization and robotics entering in a big way. So, the HR policy has to orient itself towards the changing scenario. You will have to work on your organization's strategy and approach in dealing with these issues. Accordingly, there is a need to design manpower acquisition and retention policies. Statutory Compliances
As regards statutory compliances, you will have to see with regard to each of the statutes applicable to your industry and prepare a table giving the date-wise compliances required. Once you go through the annual cycle, thereafter it is more of a repetition of the same events.

Incidentally, you need to pay attention to your communication skills.
