Hi,
I am a fresh PGDM-HR graduate and recently appointed as an HR in a small firm with a workforce of only 20 people. The company has never had an HR before, so there is no one to guide me in the startup process. Please help me with the initial steps I can take to understand the company, employees, and other activities I must undertake as an HR. I would appreciate your assistance as soon as possible because I have already wasted 2 days and have no clue where to start.
Thanks,
Navneet

Dear Navneet,
Even I am new in this industry and have faced similar problems. You can start with small things just to understand how the management is reacting to the changes. You can initiate the dress code policy, office hours and lunch timings, daily attendance records, notice board for uploading some motivational and inspiring quotes, birthday greetings for all the employees through emails and notice board, introduction emails for new joiners, corporate profile which can give a brief idea about the company to the new joiners, etc.
Based on these activities, you can find out the receptiveness of your management and accordingly, you can work on induction programs, hierarchy levels, KRAs, JDs for every level in the department, celebrations (either on a small or large scale), etc.
