Hello everyone, I need some help. I just started working in an organization where the HR department doesn't exist, and one HR assistant is handling paperwork and salaries under the financial director. Now I have been asked to establish a new HR department, even though I have never done it before, and I need your help to do this.
Creating a New HR Department
First, I need to create a new flowchart to visualize how I see this department building in the next 5-6 months. What are the essential keys to doing so, and what should I keep in mind? I need a timeline for the next 5-6 months and am wondering what is possible to achieve in that amount of time.
I am grateful for all the help I can get.

Hello, it's great that you are assigned such a challenging task. I can suggest that you first determine the number of employees working in the organization. Secondly, either appoint an inspector or conduct inspections yourself. Thirdly, in line with your organization's goals, separate each employee according to their specific roles so that you will have more ways to resolve this situation. I have worked on a project involving HUL HR departments; I hope it will be helpful to you. My best wishes are with you! Rock on, buddy! Good luck.

First of all, congratulations on having a great learning opportunity that only some of us get. Start by collecting the current documents in place. Then, proceed with the following steps:
Organization Structure: Hierarchy (you can also prepare an Excel sheet outlining the job responsibilities and KSAs of all the employees).
Policies: Recruitment, Leave Policy, Travel Policy (Domestic & International), Exit Policy, Probation and Confirmation Policy, and Code of Conduct.
This is a broad topic, but starting with these steps will guide you. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me.

Hi, I am also currently in the same boat, so I can understand your situation better. I will tell you what I am currently doing:
1. Talk to all seniors to understand what their priorities are. Because if you focus solely on developing all HR processes, it can be a very time-consuming process. For example, in my company, the priority is recruitment for expansion.
2. Then try to streamline those activities.
3. Meanwhile, prepare an activity list for all HR processes and check their status within your company.
4. Next, discuss with your head the completion period of these activities. Start working on them one by one. This way, you will have your older seniors involved, and it won't burden you. You will also get their support, which is crucial for HR.
I hope these steps help you navigate through your situation more effectively. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
