New HR Manager at an Auto Dealership: What Essential Activities Should I Focus On?

Hello seniors,

I am Rekha, who has recently joined an automobile dealership as an HR Manager, overseeing a staff of 100 members. I urgently need your suggestions on the activities that need to be carried out in this role. Please help me as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi,

Before implementing anything, first, go through all the things and be familiar with those. That will help you a lot to communicate with others. These are:

1. Shift Management of employees
2. Checking and updating personal files of each employee
3. ESI status
4. PF status
5. Attendance details
6. Leave status
7. Mode of salary payment
8. Working culture, etc.

Then you can start implementation with:

1. Prepare an MIS in an Excel sheet:
a. Prepare base data of each employee with all the details
b. Prepare the attrition rate
c. List out New Joinees
d. Resignations of the month

2. From that MIS, you can see the DOB of employees coming in that month. Then arrange a small meeting on the weekend with a huge cake and celebrate the same.

3. Implement the Employee of the Month award with the help of seniors. Give a certificate and, if possible, a memento to that employee.

4. Prepare a weekly attendance report of employees and check who is coming late, and show it to your seniors.

5. First, complete all pending works related to ESI, PF, and all if it comes under your profile. Moreover, prepare an HR Policy.

Likewise, you can do a lot of things from the very first month itself. Lastly, try to interact with each employee. Let them feel your importance and that you are working on all these things for their welfare only.

Amit Seth.

Hi Ami,
