Hi Deepali,

This time, I can't give you full detail on how I can help you. But I'll be happy to assist you with your problem. The fact is that I was planning to start an HR Consultancy firm offering total HR Solutions with my old boss. However, the relationship didn't work out, so we separated. I don't have enough support to do it on my own now. I've postponed the plan for the future. Currently, I am working with a Placement firm in Chennai as an IT Recruiter. My interest lies in Total HR. I will definitely try to help you. You can email me at my official ID khalid@platlap.com or khalid_01@rediffmail.com whenever you feel like writing. Let me think over your problem. Please provide me with details about your company, such as company size, employee strength, turnover, product, etc. I hold an MBA in Information Management, a blend of IT and HR from XISS, a premier Institute. I have also partnered with a Retired VP HR of a large Chemical Company in Mumbai.

Regards, Khalid

Hi,

I'll be happy to help you in solving your problem. But now I want some time as I don't know the details about your company. Please give me the details viz; size of your company, number of employees, turnover, product, etc. I'm an MBA in Information Management, a blend of HR and IT from XISS (a premier management institute) in India. I had a plan to start my HR consultancy with my old boss, but the relationship didn't work out, and we separated. Now, I plan to do it alone in the future as I need finance for it, which I don't have. I've joined a recruitment firm in Chennai as an IT Recruiter, but my interest lies in total HR functions. I've also tied up with a retired VP of HR from a large chemical company in Mumbai. I'll try to help you sort out your problem, but don't worry, I'm not asking for payment. Just give me some days as I have to take care of my present job as well. You can always contact me on my official email or . I'll be happy to reply to you.

Regards,

Khalid

Hi,

When tasked with developing an HR department, the first step typically involves establishing systematic record-keeping for employee-related data. You may need to begin by organizing existing documents or sending out questionnaires to employees. It is essential to set timelines for all expected tasks. Central to all HR processes is information on employees and their roles. Subsequently, addressing policy issues by compiling existing policies is crucial. This foundational work enables you to enhance and build upon what already exists.

As administrative activities stabilize, you can shift focus towards the developmental role of HR. This gradual approach allows for a smoother transition and better integration of HR functions.

I hope this provides a general guideline on how to approach the task of establishing an HR department. Good luck!

HR MANUAL

HR MANUAL is the total guidelines for the managers in the

organization on the subject of HUMAN RESOURCE.

The real work of managing people [ human resource] is the

responsibility of the line managers. The HR department

acts as a coordinator / advisory body to the line managers,

in addition to, its own administrative work.

Employee handbook is a major element of the HR manual.

It is part of the HR MANUAL.

The copy of HR MANUAL [ including the employee handbook]

is given to the managers only.

The copy of the EMPLOYEE handbook is given to the

employees.

=================================================

The TOTAL HR MANUAL development is a never ending

assignment. It needs updating every six months.

At the initial stage, it could take upto six months at least

to complete the manual/ handbook for a full time person,

even if you employ an outside expert.

Once you have downloaded HR manual list, you should

sit with your boss

-analyse the list

-set the priority [ 1st. lot, 2nd. lot, 3rd. lot etc ]

-discuss the need for HO material, to uniform the approach

-discuss the need for local expert

etc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your priorities could be [ my best guess]

-personnel records

-various forms required

-access control

-workplace rules

-employee hiring

-job descriptions

-employment applications

-interviewing applicants

-payroll administration

-training [ induction / orientation/development]

-employee handbook

You/ Your boss should agree to the priority list.

==================================================

HOPE THIS IS USEFUL TO YOU

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your interest in helping me. Well, my company is into the manufacturing of medical equipment, surgical, and disposable equipment. It's going to expand. We have about 65 employees that include finance, export, admin, quality, HR, secretary, sales, marketing, etc. Apart from these, about 75 workmen are there in the factory. So, this is for you, KHALID. Now, I think we should start with the employee manual first and then move on to policies and processes. So, please think and suggest.

Hi Mr. Leo Lingham,

Thank you a million. This is exactly what I was looking for. You really gave me an easy-to-follow and step-by-step process. Thanks once again. But there are a few terms that I find difficult to understand, and I want to know what are these forms that are specified after each of the activities. I'll let you know about my confusions within a day or two.

Thanks,

Dear Deepali,

We normally divide HR into two aspects while setting up the HR department:

1. Corporate HR: Corporate HR deals with Strategy, Policies, and sets Benchmarks for Operational HR to follow. Location HR or HR Facilitators will operationalize the above and implement the strategy and policy as put in by Corporate HR. Depending on the size and spread of your organization, you may just have one team handling this. If you have a number of locations and a higher number of employees, then you may want to follow the above structure. Again, depending on your size, level of recruitment, training, etc., you will need people with skills for Recruitment, Training, etc. You may have a generalist knowledgeable in these areas to multitask. As you grow and the pressure on a person grows, you will have to recruit accordingly.

2. Operational HR: Operational HR focuses on the day-to-day functions of HR, such as recruitment, training, employee relations, and compliance.

Tie your HR philosophy to your Organization's Mission statement and values. That will define how you want to serve your employees. For example, 'Employee Delight' may be HR's Motto, which can be linked to more productivity and hence more profits, etc.

HR Strategy:

- What does HR want to achieve in the short run and what does it want to achieve in the long run? Normally, we look at a 1-year, 3-year, and a 5-year horizon. Your HR Plans will thus take shape on what outcome you want in a given time.

- Identify areas that are important in your industry. For example, Employee Welfare, Training and Skills development, Health and Safety, etc., would be very important for you. Identify these areas and prioritize the important ones in your phase plan.

- Where are you now versus the desired state? Setting up HR is not about setting a department, but it is a change in the way you will deal with employees. Every change has a start point and an end point as a desired state. You will need to consider where you are today versus where you want to be and let that govern your planning.

- Mr. Lingham has given an excellent list for you and will prove a good starting point. Based on my points above, you need to prioritize that list and take action.

HR Policies: HR Policies, Standard Operating Procedures, etc., have to be drawn up. You will need external help on this if you do not have policies in place. These will have to be approved by either the board or the Financial officer. You need to set up a process for HR policy approval (can follow the process of other Policy approvals). You should realize that every HR Policy you set up has a financial implication, and as 30% to 40% of the organization's cost is employee cost - you have to get a proper buy-in from management.

What should a new HR department do - Reduce costs? Serve Employees better? Do management reporting? You have to ask questions to yourself on what are the strategic goals. Once you do this and place it in front of the HR department, you will start looking for processes that help achieve those goals.

How many employees do you have? How many locations? What are your current processes? How many people are available for HR Roles? Let me know, and I will give you some more ideas.

Wish you all the best. Feel free to write to me at managehr@gmail.com.

Hi Deepali,

Thank you for your kind words. I really like Mr. Linghams List; it's very helpful, even for me. I will mail you the other document tomorrow. I am working from my PDA at the moment!

Dear Deepali,

These are standard forms that a company may generate for each set of activities.

Example:
1. Application Form for New Applicant.
2. Termination Interview Questions/Form.
3. Staff Requisition Form, where managers seek additional staff.
4. Leave Request by Staff.
Etc, etc.

Once you standardize these and code it, it is easy to administer.

Dear Mr. Leo,

I had the same queries in my mind as to where exactly should I begin? Thanks to you, all my questions have been answered, and I thank Ms. Deepali also for having asked these questions.

Hi Bala and Mr. Leo,

Thank you for the PowerPoint presentation. It has good questions, and the assessment form is useful. I think it will provide a detailed evaluation of the employee.

Mr. Leo, for probationary employees in my company, I wanted to ask whether I should include them in the same form filling process as permanent employees or if I should use different formats for permanent and probationary employees.

Secondly, my company is undergoing mass expansion, so I have to prepare many things now.

Hi Deepali,

I know some of the concepts through which you can introduce HRD in your organization. First of all, I think you have to show the benefits of HRD to your employees. HRD includes frequent appraisals, career development, etc. Through this, you can introduce HRD in your organization.

Hope this will make some sense to you.

Hi Ms. Deepali,

I'm extremely sorry for the delay. The fact is that I'm finding very little time for other works after my job. I've discussed your problem with my senior here. Please tell me how soon you have to start this and how much time you have to implement your program. I'll plan accordingly. We have to decide which module we can start from. There are several HR functions, and we can begin with the most important relevant ones, such as Wage/Salary policy, IR, PA, Recruitment, Employee welfare, Personnel planning, etc.

Please also inform me about the strength of your organization and who was handling HR activities if there was no specific HR department. Then we'll decide whether we need to streamline the HR process or set up a completely new department with perfect practices. What's your position there? What's the ratio of white-collar to blue-collar employees there?

The strength of my company is 150 (admin, exports, HR, sales & marketing, finance, stores, personnel, dispatching, etc.) plus workers in the factory. Before me, the Director himself was taking care of HR. I am working here as an HR executive, and the ratio of white-collar to blue-collar employees is 70:30. The scene is such that we have to set up this department with perfect practices. I am desperate to do something that can make everybody in the company realize that, "Yes, only the HRD can do this."

Hi, Mr. Khalid,

"But first, let me know how much time you have so that I'll try to establish a deadline for me. Otherwise, I have so much less time that it will get delayed.

Did you find the document helpful that I attached with the last message? Feedback is required for correct follow-ups.

See, every good thing has a slightly sad part attached to it. So, here's the thing: after joining when I asked my boss what he expects from me here as HR, he said to develop the right policies and to develop data on the investments and ROI per individual in the company. I have been sitting idle for two weeks, which is really disgusting.

So, the first thing I started with is preparing individuals' records about everything that could be needed for this.

But then, my boss was so busy (maybe he is observing something); he seems very casual for the HRD. Because every time I have to go and ask about what I should do next, because I cannot initiate (that's a constraint) as I am new, and moreover, all the information is with him only, so I have to go and ask him for everything.

But apart from all this, I want myself to be fully prepared with all the inputs and knowledge so that the day he takes HRD seriously and works on it, I have everything and every information. To be honest, he is really busy these days and has gone out of the country for some project, so when he comes back, maybe I'll have to start right away.

Hi Khalid,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you find the information useful.

Regarding your question about the ideal team size for an HR Team, the number of people required can vary depending on the company size and its needs. In general, larger companies tend to have larger HR teams to manage the volume of work and diverse functions. However, small companies may be able to function effectively with a smaller HR team, possibly even as small as two people, if they are well-organized and efficient.

Ultimately, the key factor in determining the size of an HR team is the workload and the scope of responsibilities that need to be handled. It's important for HR teams to be adequately staffed to ensure that all necessary tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.

I hope this helps clarify things for you. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Hi,

I don't think there's any rule as such. However, it does depend on the organization's size as the workload depends on the employee strength, HR practices, and the policy of the company. There should be a specific HR department, and the number of HR personnel depends on your policy and workload. If you think two persons are able, it's okay, but they should be able to maintain all employee/work-related files as it's mandatory for IR. For reference, you can check the rules framed by the Indian government for different kinds of organizations.

Depending on the size of the company, the HR Department might be called Personnel with a manageable workforce that can be handled by a personnel manager and a small staff. For larger, more complex organizations with hundreds of departments and divisions, the task is much more demanding, taking on a life of its own.

Some companies have more than one HR Department - Corporate and Union. For example, a food service industry might have a Corporate HR Department that oversees "white-collared" employees and an HR Department that oversees the "blue-collar" workforce with an emphasis on labor relations. With such diverse needs, the organization will institute these two HR Departments to manage the unique needs of both union and non-union employees. Some of the many core functions of the Human Resources function involve the following: Organizational Development: To ensure its success, a company must establish a hierarchical reporting system. Picture an organizational chart with boxes representing each position starting at the top with the first and single-most important being the highest-ranking role. Following the lines, more boxes are branched off to define each department head and their direct reports. As the company expands, so will this chart. The funnel of responsibility is critical to the efficiency of a smoothly operating business entity in which there is a clearly defined understanding of who is responsible for what. This is what HR does for a company. They provide consultation to a company's management team to identify what the company's core business and culture are about and proceed to plan and map the company's organizational infrastructure to support those needs.

If you have any doubts, ask me. I'll try to clear your doubts.

Hi Dips,

Please tell me how your work is going? Where are you now? How are you doing? Are you working on one HR function at a time or a few altogether? I prefer one at a time (the most important first).

Employee Recruitment and Selection Process:

There are many steps to recruiting and selecting qualified employees. First, a department head must inform the HR manager of an opening in their department. Then the HR manager must obtain the job description to formulate a Job Description Sheet for publication either internally, publicly, or both. HR must then field the (many) responses to that job announcement to weed out the qualified from the unqualified applicants. Once that is completed, the interview process must be coordinated. This is a full-time job! If one job ad generates 80 responses, there's a good chance that only 10 applicants are highly qualified for the position. If the department's hiring manager were to interview the other 70 less-than-qualified applicants, their department would come to a complete standstill because there would be no time for anything else! That's where HR, a.k.a. Fort Knox, comes in. They prepare the job description, contact the newspaper, run the ad, field the calls, faxes, and emails, compile a list of potential candidates from dozens of incoming resumes, submit their list of potential candidates to the department's hiring manager for approval and selection, contact the chosen candidates to set up preliminary interviews, and interview the candidates! Yes, that's right. Preliminary interviews! Although most interviews are with the hiring manager or their associates, not all applicants get to meet with the department's hiring manager right away. It is not uncommon for a company to filter out those who fail to impress the HR manager first. For those select few who make it through, the HR manager schedules interviews between the department's hiring manager and potential candidates, and follows up with the hiring process to establish the new hire with the company. Not unlike the screening process for American Idol, a job seeker needs to perform their best to impress the "judges."

Employee Training & Development: As a company and the requirements of a position evolve, a company needs to take certain measures to ensure a highly skilled workforce is in place. The Human Resources Department oversees the skills development of the company's workforce, acting as an in-house training center to coordinate training programs either on-site, off-site, or in the field. This might include ongoing company training, outside training seminars, or even college, in which case an employee will receive tuition reimbursement upon earning a passing grade.

Employee Compensation Benefits:

This covers salaries, bonuses, vacation pay, sick leave pay, Workers' Compensation, and insurance policies such as medical, dental, life, and 401k. The Human Resources Department is responsible for developing and administering a benefits compensation system that serves as an incentive to ensure the recruitment and retention of top talent that will stay on with the company. When an employee is hired, the company's Benefits Coordinator is required to meet with employees one-on-one or in small group settings to explain their benefits package. This often requires an employee to make an informed decision and to provide their signature for processing purposes.

Employee Relations:

With the increased rise in unethical practices and misbehaviors taking place in today's workplace such as age, gender, race, and religion discrimination and sexual harassment, there needs to be mandatory compliance with governing rules and regulations to ensure fair treatment of employees. In short, employees need to know they have a place to turn when a supervisor abuses his or her authority in any way. Whether corporate or union, the HR Department will get involved to act as arbitrator and liaison between legal entities, regulatory agencies such as Human Rights, supervisors (who might be falsely accused), and employees to properly address and resolve the issue at hand.

Policy Formulation:

Regardless of the organization's size, company policies and procedures must be established to ensure order in the workplace. These policies and procedures are put in place to provide each employee with an understanding of what is expected of them. Similarly, these policies and procedural guidelines will assist hiring managers in evaluating their employees' performance. These policies can be established company-wide or used to define each department's function. It is Human Resources' responsibility to collaborate with department managers on the formulation of these policies and regulations to ensure a cohesive organization. A common practice is the development and implementation of an Employee Procedure Manual or Employee Handbook that is either distributed to each employee at the time of hire or a master copy allocated one to a department.

HRIS – Human Resources Information Systems:

To keep track of the vast amount of data, a human resources department must have a good HRIS in place to automate many functions such as planning and tracking costs, monitoring and evaluating productivity levels, and the storing and processing of employee records such as payroll, benefits, and personnel files.

Hi Khalid,

Thank you once again for providing simple inputs. Well, now things seem to be getting on track. The day before yesterday, I talked to my boss about assigning me some work and allowing me to dedicate some time towards HRD as well.

As I mentioned, I am currently focused on recruitments. Today, I am in the process of searching for and shortlisting resumes for further consideration. Once that is done, I will present them to the marketing head for additional shortlisting. Following that, I will reach out to those candidates to communicate details about the interviews. I will then schedule the interviews based on the convenience of both parties and move forward to the final interview stage.

This is the current focus of my job at the moment. How are you doing? How are things progressing on your end?

Hi Deepali,

The total gamut of HR begins with manpower planning and ends with the separation of the employee.

Manpower planning is usually done to identify your future manpower requirements based on the company's expansion plan, the retirement profile of the existing manpower, and the skill base anticipated in the future based on the core function of the organization. You need to carry out job evaluation to determine all the facts regarding every job, basically to conduct time and motion studies. In simple terms, categorize all the jobs by understanding the workflow, design the levels, and the career pattern for an individual. Once you identify that, the next step is to source people from within, i.e., laterally or from outside.

Recruitment/Selection - The next step would be to recruit people. You can seek the help of placement consultants to economically carry out the process. Initial rounds can be done by the consultant and the final rounds with your top officials just to match your requirements. You can decide whether you require freshers or experienced staff based on the levels you have.

Rest is the next posting.

Hi Dips,

You asked about temporary employees sometime back, I guess. You need to care about the Contract Labour Act enacted by the Government of India in 1970. The excerpts of the act are:

Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970

LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK

The Government of India has been deeply concerned about the exploitation of workers under the contract labour system. With a view to removing the difficulties of contract labour and bearing in mind the recommendations of various commissions and committees and the decisions of the Supreme Court, particularly in the case of Standard Vacuum Refining Company in 1960, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act was enacted in 1970. This Act seeks to regulate the employment of contract labour in certain establishments and to provide for its abolition under certain circumstances.

Contract Labour, by and large, is neither borne on the payroll nor on the muster roll, nor is paid wages directly. The establishments that farm out work to contractors do not own any direct responsibility regarding their labourers. Generally, the wage rates to be paid and observance of working conditions are stipulated in agreements, but in practice, they are not strictly adhered to.

The Main Features of the Act

The main features of the Act can be summarized thus: -

The Act applies to every establishment in which 20 or more workmen are employed or were employed on any day in the preceding 12 months as contract labour and to every contractor who employs or who employed on any day of the preceding 12 months 20 or more workmen. It does not apply to establishments where the work performed is of an intermittent or casual nature. The Act also applies to establishments of the Government and local authorities as well.

The Central Government and the State Governments are required to set up Central Advisory Boards and State Advisory Boards, which are authorized to constitute Committees as deemed proper. The functions of the Boards are advisory on matters arising out of the administration of the Act as are referred to them. The Boards carry out the functions assigned to them under the Act.

The establishments covered under the Act are required to be registered as the Principal Employer. Likewise, every contractor to whom the Act applies is required to obtain a license and not to undertake or execute any work through contract labour except under and in accordance with the license issued.

The Act has provided for the establishment of canteens. For the welfare and health of contract labour, provisions are made for restrooms, first aid, wholesome drinking water, latrines, and urinals. In case of failure on the part of the contractor to provide such facilities, the Principal Employer is made liable to provide the amenities.

The contractor is required to pay wages, and a duty is cast on him to ensure the disbursement of wages in the presence of the authorized representative of the Principal Employer. In case of failure on the part of the contractor to pay wages either in part or in full, the Principal Employer is liable to pay the same. In case the contract labour performs the same or similar kind of work as regular workmen, they will be entitled to the same wages and service conditions as regular workmen as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Central Rules, 1971.

The Act makes provision for the appointment of Inspecting staff, for the maintenance of registers and records, for penalties for the contravention of the provisions of the Act and Rules made thereunder, and for making Rules for carrying out the purpose of the Act. In the central sphere, officers of the CIRM have been appointed as Inspectors.

Apart from the regulatory measures provided under the Act for the benefit of the contract labour, the 'appropriate government' under section 10(1) of the Act is authorized, after consultation with the Central Board or State Board, as the case may be, to prohibit, by notification in the official gazette, employment of contract labour in any establishment in any process, operation, or other work.

Sub-section (2) of Section 10 lays down sufficient guidelines for deciding upon the abolition of contract labour in any process, operation, or other work in any establishment and the 'appropriate government' while taking action under this Section will have to take an overall picture of the industry carrying out similar activities. The guidelines furnished under subsection (2) oblige the 'appropriate government' to consider, as relevant data, the material to which it must have regard. The Central Government, on the recommendations of the Board, has abolished the contract labour system in a number of jobs in different industries, and so far, 28 notifications have been issued.

Try finding full details of this law and others.

And also go through the Wages Act-1936 carefully. In fact, you need to go through all the acts and work accordingly. What you have to maintain, you will know.

I know you didn't ask for this, but I'm telling you anyway. Hope you won't mind. I understand I may not be able to help you to the extent I promised earlier. I'm sorry for that.

This topic seems to be really going great. Lots of useful info. Keep posting.

Meanwhile, a small note on the need for an induction program:

Quote:::::

A thoughtful new employee induction program can reduce turnover and save an organization thousands of Rupees. Whether a company has two employees or 20,000, it should not leave new employee induction to chance.

More and more organizations are beginning to realize the positive benefits of utilizing part-time workers. Unfortunately, they often think of these employees as not needing induction, since they will only be there for a short while. This attitude often contributes to an even higher turnover rate.

Managers can measure staff turnover at set periods using the formula:

Number of leavers/average number employed = turnover rate

For example: 12/{(64+56)/2} * 100 = 20%

Where:
64 = number employed at the beginning of the period
56 = number employed at the end of the period
20 = Average turnover rate per period

If the personnel or manpower section can detail the amount it spends on advertising and recruiting over the same period or if it can specify the costs of recruiting those personnel who leave, then we can get a measure of what it costs the company to lose staff against what it costs to recruit them. Few organizations go to the bother of making such comparisons, probably because of the difficulty in collecting statistics.

Designing an induction program reduces both permanent and part-time employee turnover and at the same time quickly prepares workers for their new jobs. Reduced turnover along with better-inducted and trained employees means better service for the customer.

Hi CiteHR friends,

Here I give below (once again for a beginner maybe) 2 motivation theorists and their theories.

My apollogies for such a long post and this is because I am unable to attach the word file (which is essentially class notes of last week) because it says quota over!!!

Motivation theorists and their theories (1 of 2)

Although the process of management is as old as history, scientific management as we know it today is basically a twentieth century phenomenon. Also, as in some other fields, practice has been far ahead of theory. This is still true in the field of management, contrary to the situation in some of the pure sciences. A giant of a man, like Albert Einstein, formulates a theory, which is later proved by decades of intensive research and experimentation. Not so in the field of management.

In fact this field has been so devoid of real fundamental work so far, that Herbert A. Simon is the first management theoretician to win the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978. His contribution itself gives a clue to the difficulty, bordering on impossibility, of real fundamental work in this field concerned with people. In order to arrive at a correct decision, the manager must have all the information necessary relevant to the various factors and all the time in the world to analyze the same.

This is seldom, if ever, the case. Both the information available and the

time at the managers disposal are limited, but he or she must make a decision. And the decision is, therefore, not the optimum one but a 'satisficing' one - in effect, a satisfactory compromise under the real conditions prevailing in the management 'arena'.

Traditional theory 'X'

This can best be ascribed to Sigmund Freud who was no lover of people, and was far from being optimistic. Theory X assumes that people are lazy; they hate work to the extent that they avoid it; they have no ambition, take no initiative and avoid taking any responsibility; all they want is security, and to get them to do any work, they must be rewarded, coerced, intimidated and punished. This is the so-called 'stick and carrot' philosophy of management. If this theory were valid, managers will have to constantly police their staff, whom they cannot trust and who will refuse to cooperate. In such an oppressive and frustrating atmosphere, both for the manager and the managed, there is no possibility of any achievement or any creative work. But fortunately, as we know, this is not the case.

Theory 'Y' - Douglas McGregor

This is in sharp contrast to theory 'X'. McGregor believed that people want to learn and that work is their natural activity to the extent that they develop self-discipline and self-development. They see their reward not so much in cash payments as in the freedom to do difficult and challenging work by themselves. The managers job is to 'dovetail' the human wish for self-development into the organizations need for maximum productive efficiency. The basic objectives of both are therefore met and with imagination and sincerity, the enormous potential can be tapped.

Does it sound too good to be true? It could be construed, by some, that Theory 'Y' management is soft and slack. This is not true and the proof is in the 'pudding', for it has already proved its worth in the USA and elsewhere. For best results, the persons must be carefully selected to form a homogeneous group. A good leader of such a group may conveniently 'absent' from group meetings so they can discuss the matters freely and help select and 'groom' a new leader. The leader does no longer hanker after power, lets people develop freely, and may even (it is hoped) enjoy watching the development and actualization of people, as if, by themselves. Everyone, and most of all the organization, gains as a result.

Theory 'Z' - Abraham Maslow

This is a refreshing change from the theory X of Freud, by a fellow psychologist, Abraham Maslow. Maslow totally rejects the dark and dingy Freudian basement and takes us out into the fresh, open, sunny and cheerful atmosphere. He is the main founder of the humanistic school or the third force which holds that all the good qualities are inherent in people, at least, at birth, although later they are gradually lost.

Maslow's central theme revolves around the meaning and significance of human work and seems to epitomize Voltaire's observation in Candide, 'work banishes the three great evils -boredom, vice and poverty'. The great sage Yajnavalkya explains in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad that by good works a man becomes holy, by evil works evil. A mans personality is the sum total of his works and that only his works survive a man at death. This is perhaps the essence of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, as it is more commonly know.

Maslow's major works include the standard textbook (in collaboration with Mittlemann), Principles of Abnormal Psychology (1941), a seminal paper, 'A Theory of Human Motivation' (1943) and the book, Eupsychian Management (pronounced yew-sigh-keyan) published in 1965. Maslow's theory of human motivation is, in fact, the basis of McGregor's theory 'Y' briefly described above. The basic human needs, according to Maslow, are:

· physiological needs (Lowest)

· safety needs;

· love needs;

· esteem needs; and

· self-actualization needs (Highest)

Mans behavior is seen as dominated by his unsatisfied needs and he is a 'perpetually wanting animal', for when one need is satisfied he aspires for the next higher one. This is, therefore, seen as an ongoing activity, in which the man is totally absorbed in order to attain perfection through self-development.

The highest state of self-actualization is characterized by integrity, responsibility, magnanimity, simplicity and naturalness. Self-actualizers focus on problems external to themselves. His prescription for human salvation is simple, but not easy: 'Hard work and total commitment to doing well the job that fate or personal destiny calls you to do, or any important job that "calls for" doing'.

Maslow has had his share of critics, but he has been able to achieve a refreshing synthesis of divergent and influential philosophies of:

· Marx - economic and physical needs;

· Freud - physical and love needs;

· Adler - esteem needs;

· Goldstein - self-actualization.



Motivation theorists and their theories

Frederick Herzberg - Hygiene / Motivation Theory

This is based on analysis of the interviews of 200 engineers and accountants in the Pittsburgh area in the USA. According to this theory, people work first and foremost in their own self-enlightened interest, for they are truly happy and mentally healthy through work accomplishment. Peoples needs are of two types:

Animal Needs (hygiene factors)

· Supervision

· Interpersonal relations

· Working conditions

· Salary

Human Needs (motivators)

· Recognition

· Work

· Responsibility

· Advancement

Unsatisfactory hygiene factors can act as de-motivators, but if satisfactory, their motivational effect is limited. The psychology of motivation is quite complex and Herzberg has exploded several myths about motivators such as:

· shorter working week;

· increasing wages;

· fringe benefits;

· sensitivity / human relations training;

· communication.

As typical examples, saying 'please' to shop-floor workers does not motivate them to work hard, and telling them about the performance of the company may even antagonize them more. Herzberg regards these also as hygiene factors, which, if satisfactory, satisfy animal needs but not human needs.

Chris Argyris

According to Argyris, organization needs to be redesigned for a fuller utilization of the most precious resource, the workers, in particular their psychological energy. The pyramidal structure will be relegated to the background, and decisions will be taken by small groups rather than by a single boss. Satisfaction in work will be more valued than material rewards. Work should be restructured in order to enable individuals to develop to the fullest extent. At the same time work will become more meaningful and challenging through self-motivation.

Rensis Likert

Likert identified four different styles of management:

· exploitative-authoritative;

· benevolent-authoritative;

· consultative;

· participative.

The participative system was found to be the most effective in that it satisfies the whole range of human needs. Major decisions are taken by groups themselves and this results in achieving high targets and excellent productivity. There is complete trust within the group and the sense of participation leads to a high degree of motivation.

Fred Luthans

Luthans advocates the so-called 'contingency approach' on the basis that certain practices work better than others for certain people and certain jobs. As an example, rigid, clearly defined jobs, authoritative leadership and tight controls lead in some cases to high productivity and satisfaction among workers. In some other cases just the opposite seems to work. It is necessary, therefore, to adapt the leadership style to the particular group of workers and the specific job in hand.

Victor Vroom

Vroom's 'expectancy theory' is an extension of the 'contingency approach'. The leadership style should be 'tailored' to the particular situation and to the particular group. In some cases it appears best for the boss to decide and in others the group arrives at a consensus. An individual should also be rewarded with what he or she perceives as important rather than what the manager perceives. For example, one individual may value a salary increase, whereas another may, instead, value promotion. This theory contributes an insight into the study of employee motivation by explaining how individual goals influence individual performance.

Only a selection of the motivation theories and thoughts of the various proponents of the human behavior school of management have been discussed here. Not included here are, among others, the thoughts of:

· Seebohm Rowntree - labor participation in management;

· Elton Mayo - the Hawthorne Experiments;

· Kurt Lewin - group dynamics; force field theory;

· David McClelland - achievement motivation;

· George Humans - the human group;

· William Whyte - the organization man.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I have seen your message. Look, when you are in HR, then you can manage well in your own sense because in all the states of India, there is different climate, different people, and different languages. So, we should look at their performance, okay?

Hi Dips,

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate your acknowledgment. Although I know I couldn't help you as much as you required and as much as I could, I really appreciate that you acknowledged my trivial help. This is the first time (as I recall) when someone acknowledged my help, however little. I'm sorry for not being able to help you much due to my workload. I've helped a lot of persons but never even acknowledged, not to talk, keep aside words of appreciation. Instead, I was looked down upon.

I'm leaving for my native town on Sunday. After that, I may not be available here for some days.

See you all after I return.

Happy Diwali and Eid to all.

Thanks.

Dear Khalid,

I don't know why you were never acknowledged, but one thing is for sure, your work is GREAT! I'm sure whoever has gone through all the postings of yours and Mr. Leo on this topic must have added value to themselves.

The other day, I showed a few postings from you and Leo to my Director, and she was so surprised to look at those documents. She asked me, "why are people sharing such documents on the internet?" and I told her this site is all about collective learning. She is also planning to become a member of CiteHR now. *wink*

Once again, a big thanks to You, Leo & Dips...

Why have the postings stopped by the way?

Hi Dips,

Don't get demotivated so fast! :D

I don't know how I missed your post.

Well, I specialize in developing new HR departments and typically follow the steps below:

1. Check if the licenses under service condition act are obtained and renewed, i.e., Factories license, Shops & Establishment License, Mines License, etc., as applicable.

2. Ensure the department has the right manpower.

3. Ensure other statutory aspects are clear, e.g., Leave Records, Master Roll, Appointment Letters, ESI & PF compliances.

4. At this point, also prepare Individual Employee Records, which should contain basic information about the employee in the form of an Application Blank, Appointment Letter, Medical Report during joining, etc., at the bare minimum.

5. Define the performance level of the HR department and major core functions currently, e.g., Recruitment, Training, etc.

6. Develop procedural codes and a responsibility delegation chart for the same.

7. Gradually develop other essential areas like travel rules, leave rules, and a performance appraisal system as per the organization's needs.

For any further assistance, never hesitate to reach out to me.

Hi Dips,

Fortunately, I checked this site again today and to my surprise, I found your post. It's sad news. Sorry, I was not able to check this site for quite a long time, but I was helpless. I couldn't check these sites as we are prohibited from checking personal emails and browsing other websites. I wish you all the best, Dips. I know you are a good person, and you'll get or might have already got a good job. Keep informing us all about the developments. Wherever you go, don't forget the people here. We'll be looking forward to seeing your posts. I'm also looking for other jobs. Things are not going well as I expected. I'm also not in a very good position now. Hope for the best.

Hi Vinny,

I've just taken charge as Assistant HR Manager in a healthcare firm where there were no HR initiatives at all. The first step would be to streamline the HR routine activities like PF, salary disbursement, leave and attendance, and joining and exit formalities through HR. The rest of the soft HR initiatives could be started in due course of time. They would comprise a performance management system, employee satisfaction measures, training and development, recognition programs, and much more.

Hope I've given you a small insight into how to get started.

Hi,

Can anybody help me in getting a job in HR in Delhi/NCR, North India? My profile is as below.

I've left my last job as an IT Recruiter and was hoping for some good offers from Mumbai and Delhi, but today all hope faded. I have one offer from a Bangalore consultant as an IT Recruiter, and they are offering 8kpm. The last salary I drew was 6kpm here. I worked in Bangalore with Orange365, a web development company, as a Sr. Business Development Executive. There, I was also handling HR activities (internal recruitment, employee motivation, and exit interviews) as an extra responsibility as HR is my area of interest. Later, I got an offer from HDFC bank as a Team Leader, but I didn't join. Instead, I came to Chennai to join a placement consultancy as an IT Recruiter @ 6kpm, which was less than my last offer. But since I was desperately looking for a shift to HR, I didn't mind turning down that offer. Now that I've gained some experience (5+ months) as an IT Recruiter, I'm willing to relocate to North India and looking for opportunities in HR.

I'm an MBA in Information Management (HR+IT) - 2003, from XISS, Ranchi, and have also done PGDPM & IR through AIIMAS, Chennai, through correspondence.

Total experience - around 1.5 years

BD Exec experience: 1 year

IT Recruiter experience: 5+ months

Please find my resume attached.

Sorry, my mobile is out of order now, and I have to buy a new set. I'll provide it as soon as I get it. I can be contacted through mail. I don't know where I'll be after tomorrow, but I'm surely hoping for a positive response from your end. Please help me find a job in HR in any corporate, except training institutes.

Hoping for a positive response.

Hi Sankalp,

I have gone through your suggestions given to Deepali. I am sailing in the same boat as Deepali. I have joined a company which is a software company. Currently, we have about 20 employees and are planning to expand to three times the current strength. Therefore, there will be a lot of hiring at all levels. I have managed to establish the basic HR department, meaning the recruitment, onboarding, and performance appraisal processes are now in place and being followed.

Now, we need to focus on establishing strategic HR. I am curious to know if HR services can be outsourced. The HR function is new to me, despite having over 14 years of experience across various industries, all of which were leaders in their respective fields. However, the IT industry is new territory for me. I seek your guidance.

Hi Deepali,

I feel you should take the help of some HR advisory companies that are assisting companies in setting up their HR department by creating policies, processes, and aiding the HR personnel of the company in implementing them smoothly. They are professionals, and it is a one-time job. Once the policies and processes are in place, you do not need this expertise anymore. Therefore, hiring an HR head for such purposes results in a lot of overhead for the companies, which is why this process is often outsourced nowadays.

If you are looking for such a company, here is the link to their website: [www.hradvisory.com](http://www.hradvisory.com).
