Dear all my seniors,
My name is Sima. I do not have much experience. Currently, I am working as an HR executive in a company. I do not have any senior HR personnel who can assist me. However, the management here is not good. So, how can I help the employees?

Try to convince and educate them about the consequences. Even after that, if the management is not changing their approach, then instead of helping employees, you need to help yourself by looking for an alternative.

But the management is not ready to spend a single penny on employees. Even all the employees are getting their salary after the 15th. So, how can I convince the employees? It is also their right to get the salary on time. Please suggest how to handle the employees and the management.

The employees form unions and associations because of this type of attitude of employers. One day the employees themselves go to the labor department and lodge a complaint against the management under the Payment of Wages Act. Once the employees decide to form a union, only then will these types of managements realize, but by that time, it is too late, and nothing can be done.
I believe that it is not the right place for professionals to work; hence, it is better to look for alternatives.

Sima,
In this kind of situation, you can learn IR in-depth. You have to instigate the workers to file a complaint against the management. At the same time, the management should not know that you are the cause for all, so that the Government officials will send a correspondence against the management. That will be a fear factor for the management, and then the management will seek your help to solve the problem.
Subsequently, you can do justice to the workmen as you wish.

Sima,
In a small organization, this type of problem occurs, but as you say, you are alone as an HR personnel. This is a great opportunity for you. If you handle these types of problems, it will be a great achievement for you. Think about what you have to do according to the priority of work. Plan it and execute it. Especially ask management for at least one more personnel for the HR department.
Best of luck.

Dear Sima,
This is a challenge for you. In this case, write an anonymous letter to your employer stating that the employees are forming a union and are approaching the Labour Office due to delays in payment and the lack of basic facilities.
After sending this letter, observe if the employer is not taking the issue seriously. If that is the case, send an anonymous letter to the Labour Office, Shop & Establishment Inspector, and HRD Ministry, while also cc'ing your employer.
I believe this approach will apply pressure, leading to a resolution of the situation. Always utilize different strategies to implement the right practices and ensure a win-win situation for both employers and employees.

Dear sir,
The number of employees is very low (10). Although there is a need, the management does not want to hire anyone. However, the performance of each employee is good. There is actually a need for new employees. The problem is that I can only contact my boss through the phone as he stays in Canada. I have to manage everything, and for that, I need permission from his father, who is very old and not aware of the current organizational structure. I have to seek permission from him for even the smallest amount of money, and he is located here. How can I manage this situation?
Thank you.

Dear Sima,
This is a challenge for you, Sima. Even I am facing the same kind of problems as you are facing, but that's the duty of an HR executive. It's our responsibility as an HR professional to manage the work, employees, and employer. If you take any serious actions against your employer, it may be possible that he will terminate you from your job. So, it's my kind request to you not to take any negative steps that could affect your career.
Thanks & regards,

Hello Ms. Sima,
Your case is quite interesting. List down the various issues which, in your opinion, are not correct from the statutory point of view and also ethically not justifiable. You haven't yet disclosed the name of your organization or rather the segment that your company is in and the location of your factory/organization. Further, you also have not mentioned the total number of your workforce (both the blue collars in the shop floor and the white-collar office staff). A critical evaluation can be done only after you have all this data with you. Also, look into the company's performance for the last 5 years in terms of overall turnover and the bottom line revenue.
Resorting to a union or creating pressure on the management indirectly are tactics to be used as a last option because, once you start indulging in these activities, you lose your focus on real-time action, which you as HR need to do to bring the situation under control.
If most of these issues are a result of ignorance of the top management, then of course, you can definitely work your way out. Otherwise, it's better to gracefully quit and look for a different employer who is professional.
