Hi All,
I am working in an IT company which is just 1 year old as a HR manager. I got stuck in a horrible situation.
Most of the senior employees(president, GM, MD, and almost all team leads) in my company are childhood friends and when the company started its operations there is no HR personnel to take care of any policies or implement them. All the decisions were taken by the friends together.
Now, once I am recruited ( I am a fresher who started my career as HR Manager with my current company), I got the opportunity to frame the policies and I did, now none of the employees are supporting me to implement them. And if I want to take action on the employees my GM says I am young and taking hasty decisions.
one such example can be: None of the employees are submitting the leave forms before/after they take leave, I kept request mails twice to all the employees to follow leave procedure and third time I wanna make it loss of pay(it was already mentioned in the HR policies that, If employee doesn't submit leave form it will be considered as LOP).
After so many discussions with the management, final decision is we are at the service of employees and its our duty to go to each and every employee at the end of the month, show him the attendance register,give him the leave form and get the form filled and then prepare the pay slips:confused:.
This is the scenario with almost all the HR issues. And seeing the seniors no other employees are willing to follow the policies.
I need some suggestions from you all about how should I handle this situation.

Hi
These kind of things happen in many organisations as intially there will be no implemention of Hr dept i.e(at the time start of companies) and once the company grows they think of a Hr dept which can take care of employee needs etc.. . Due to non practice of these companies the importance Hr dept will be at low level.
Same has happend with you. Your employees feel that it was going well b4 you have entered the organisation and will go smoothly without any change. I think you must make them to practice on polices laid by you by showing them the importance of it and one or the other way they are laid for the employees benefit.
as you said they are not showing interest in submitting leave letter ask them to jus send a mail for that may be they show interest as it would be simple thing.
Ultimately there is only one way to make your employee implement the policies by showing them how will be they benefited.
Thanks

thats called the "working in lala-baniya firm trauma"..ya, seriously! It seems to be a small setup (As of now) and they aim to make it a big Organization, thats why they have kept you..but these guys (MD, TL etc) are completely "non technical"..as in not aware of how HR works,
im sure you gonna have a good amount of trouble, dont wanna scare you but the big guys are not taking u very seriously...im not very experienced on such "worst case scenarios", so i hope some other seniors help u..but if u dont find a solution then,
either face it like a challenge and live with it...OR..get good exposure and learning exp and go ahead (this time for a structured company)
..Best of Luck!
