Hi Friends
i am working ina private limited manufacturing company.
The co has started up with a family business and now is in the
process of getting listed. And i am the only HR here with lots
of responsibilities and less of exp.
Somehow I am able to manage the responsibilities I am given with.
But gradually management’s expectations on me has increased and
I am puzzled. I know its good for me but also agreater challenge in front
of me.
As told earlier our co. started up wity family business, there is no definite
structure or hierarchy of employees working here. The new employee
who joins doesn’t get any written document, and high degree of
unprofessionalism.
And politics is in the root. Problem is my director has asked me for
restructuring of the company. I don’t understand how will manage,
as there is know database of the old employees, and for sure they not even going to help me out.
In this regard I have catagorised the employees as under:
L class- Labour
E class- Executive
M class- Managerial
E class- Executive
E0- Jr Executive- Trainees, Entry Level, Old employees, but Less skilled
E1- clerks and officers with 2-5years of exp. depending on past performance
E2- employees with good performance, but not having proff qualification. Also employees with potential to grow to managerial levels.
M0- Asst. manager/ Manager
M1- Sr. manager/ AGM
M2- DGM/GM.
And I am catagorising the employees on the basis of the above. Suggest me what else criteria I should consider. Please guide other possible measures.

Hi Debasmita,
I think you do have a very tough job in your hands.
And am sure that you cant attain the restructuring untill and unless you have complete date and hence the support of your co-workers is required.
You will need a more practical approach.
Release a memo or any system that you use to communicate with your employees stating that they are being issued id cards and you need some information, ask people to fill in these forms(maybe pass it during the payday) and that they have two weeks to provide you with details.
Ask your director to follow it up with a communication from him to the respective managers in a way that each person is contacted.
When you have the data, you might have to spend some money here, get some ID cards printed(not expensive) and issue them id nos based on their seperation as you have done before.
Also the first step you would need to do is make an organization chart a basic one and then carry on from there, please inform which kind of organization and what kind of services you provide in that case I might be able to forward you with a sample organization chart.
Also before you move ahead you need complete support from your Director. And alongwith an organization structure you might have to develop processes and procedures for the company.
Do post in if you need more information.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi debasmita,
What kind of confusion are you refering to.
Please advise to which areas can i make more clear.
I had done that for a company of a friend of mine and would definitely not mind spending time on this one too.

Hi,
Hope i could be of some help to you as i did a project with similar kind of a business and currently they are running good and directors are happy with my work. Though i am not an employee of that firm, i did it for them as they are firends of my elder bro.
As far as i know these type of organisations doesn't have value for HR...all they mean by HR is taking care of time office, submition / filing of returns and disbursement of salary. Apart from this they are very much concerned about money..they don't want to spend money on administrative and HR activities as they doesn't have direct impact and influence over monetary gains.
Anyway i can understand the issues you might be facing there and i hope my experience would help you achieving your goals.
If you need any help just give me call, lets discuss it and then we will start working on it.

Hi,
As Mr.AJ... said..get the communication floated through your director to managers and staff..its really great..but before that you have to convince your director about your plan and step by step approach as they generally object to the professional theories and practices because they usually have direct links with every employee and hense they doesn't feel any relevence of these technical and practical aproached in growing senario...and its usefulness in the future...anyway we both will help you in this.

hii debasmitadm,,
even i am facing a similar problem, working with a sartup firm as the only HR person, m a MBA fresher and joined this company on a very low pack;only with the hope of learning a lot here.
They are giving me work of policy formulation, documentation and forms formats designing, hiring,which i feel m enjoying and will be beneficial for me in future; but then m also given the work of admin, facilitator,and soo many deadlines to follow which i beleive are out of my job responsibilities.
At the end of the day i feel exhausted and without any motivation,as even my co-workers r not following my instructions and neither does my boss has soo much time to clarify my doubts.
Wat should i do????

I think each one of us has to face this situation in our lives....but i never give up. Try to find other ways for it....sometimes you ahve to find new ways to get the things done....try to apply new formulae...and play a trial and error game...this will help you a lot.
If you need any help policy formulation / Implementation / forms / formats/ hiring / training / PMS / complaince and administration just let me know.
I think i might be able to guide and help you with this.
Anyway..good luck.
