Let me be honest with you all. I am not into HR or Admin. I am an IT professional with 12 years of industry experience.
If you take a look at HR and Admin departments of all major and known IT firms. One thing common among them is, HR and Admin dept 's state of affair is real bad. We all know what these depts do whole day.
If we want to understand the problem, we have to go to its roots. Root cause is the way people are hired for these two departments.
Management people in any organization keep an eye on vacant positions in these two departments. These two departments are filled with the people who are directly or indirectly have some relationship with the management of the company. These people can not get job else where. I am not talking about VP HR or VP Admin. I am talking about the people who work under them.
Most of the managers of Admin and HR depts are always underpressure to hire the relatives of the management.
All such hired people, do not have any fear or responsibility factor there. You request them for anything, they will take ages to come back to you. You send them reminders, they will ignore. You open escallations, they dont care. Belive me these people are enough powerful to spoil anyone's career. They are in company to serve people. These people think opposite, they are in a company to get served first and other things can be looked at later. You dont require a big techie guy to be in these two departments. I never saw these two department people using any skill which comes from a specialization. VP and Manager levels are exceptions, I agree with that. These two departments are majorly responsible for the time duration one would like to work in any orgnization.
Ever wondered, why you get bad food in your canteen? There are complaints about food supplier. But nothing changes!!!!
Let me ask a question to HR folks first, Honestly tell us, when was it last, you took employee feedback? I am yet to meet a HR or Admin professional who has integrity and honesty intact.
Next post is, how the hiring is done by these folks for company postions. Admin folks I have thoughts for you as well. But please rest for sometime. First focus is HR.
Seniors, Your thoughts are most welcome. I want to discuss various other issues as well.
