Hi All,
I am working with an American MNC, who has factories and Offices all over the world including in India.
My role is of HR and Admin Head for India Operations, but, still I have lot time, which I am sure can be utilised by the company. I have asked my Corporate Director - HR, who sits in USA to give me more exposure and I can help Offices in some other Countries for HRM.
He has asked me only to tell and give some ideas on How they can utilise me for other countries? This will also give me good global exposure in HR.
I request all my friends on this forum to suggest some ideas / functions in which I can help and work. I also request you to elaborate about your advices.
Regards,
Tushar Bachal

Hi Tushar,
If you are heading the HR&Admin of Indian Operations, similarly there would be someone else heading the HR&Admin in other countries as well....right? Why do you assume that they are not capable enough to handle their job properly without your help?
If you want to help them out in anyway, then first check if they need your help at all. Besides, HR policies and procedures can be very different from country to country. So, without having a global HR knowledge, how will you help them?
Or if you want to contribute to the improvement of the organization as a whole, then think of some global HR practices and suggest them to ur Director - HR.
Even better, try to improve HR functions in your own Indian branch. I am sure there would be a lot of scope for improvement, if you look more closely.

Hi Deepthi,
Thanks for your advice. We have offices in the countries like China, Singapore and HR from Sweeden and UK supports them respectively. So if I could support them from India then I think it should work.
My intension is to get more exposure globally, so I am trying.
In India we are a company of 60 employees, so I have lot of time, which I can put to support others. May be this will be cost effective also.
What do you think further?
Thanks,

Hi Tushar,
Understand your keenness to get better exposure.
Unlike IT support, it's not feasible to support other countries from India - It's like marriage - You cannot build/nurture your family from abroad. Hope you understand.
This is my opinion, forgive me if it's not in right taste for you.
Thanks

Hi, Tushar , it is a great idea
Start with Understanding Business model of each location / Country
This will make you informative about the type of business operational at that location
Write to me when you do this
Till Then, Bye

My 2 cents on what i feel you could do.
Organize an international meeting at the American MNC Head quarters for HR heads,so they can get a deeper understanding first of the company and its environment, this will help / realize more productive measures in the company's growth . The HR challenge when the company grows will be met internally by these same heads( as they would be preparing for it right now on ). Get the information on current factories and Offices all over the world including in India, get the information on its growth plans, ---- Know what i mean ?
Also note as current HR and Admin Head for India Operations you should start preparing someone to take over your role as you grow, which since you have time you can, NOW, not possible later.
Do note all throughout I am focussing only on growth of the company translating to growth plans of each individual and better understanding within the company.
To utlize your potential fully you need to first travel preferably to singapore ( closer to india/ asia region/cheaper than other countries ) see and understand the global model of the company then you would be in a possible to give the details that your director wants from you.
Knowledge sharing between your singapore and india offices could start --- Think about it again !
You could bring home the comparision between different countries ie:-
1)Per person efficiency
2)Cultural difference effects on work in turn effect on productivity
3)Different in training resulting in diffference in efficiency
4)I am sure you can think of 2 points more
5) as above
Later if this trip proves insightful, they could send you more places,
It would be interesting, if possible to get to know why Sweden & UK provide support for asia and NOT INDIA ? find out the reason, reverse the situation, May be some day the India center would be center point for all HR globally. ----> Find out , who, how,why,what, Then cut copy paste same model, customize it to global /regional and voila India HR center for global operations.( i am a little carried away in my thinking here, if you think the same )
Basically the entire efficiency of the company can improve on your one thought and effort.

I agree with Human Resource Manager suggestion to the extent of meeting all the heads and understanding how they are doing whatever they are doing in their respective countries. Tell them what you are doing in India and things that can improve. On the same lines, ask them how you can be of assistance in their operations. Simply put, you just need to ask, not grab and there are people willing to help you get that exposure.
