Dear Seniors,
I have completed my MBA in HR and currently working in the HR Department, although my role is primarily in the Time-office. I find myself unsatisfied with my current job situation and am eagerly awaiting a better opportunity. I always try to show my boss that I am content with my role, but the reality is quite the opposite.
The work environment also lacks opportunities for learning and growth. I would appreciate your guidance on any strategies or tactics that could help me find internal satisfaction in my current position.
Thank you for your support and advice.
Best regards,

Hi,
Greetings! In organizations, you can often find similar situations where self-learning processes are encouraged. If you come across a better opportunity, you can skip the current one. However, if you find the same culture in the new organization, what would be your next step? Would you choose to move again, or would you try to adjust there? If you are willing to adjust in the new environment, why can't you adjust here as well?
I hope this helps clarify the message.

You are doing yourself, your boss, and your current company a disfavor by pretending to be completely satisfied and waiting to jump ship. If your boss is not aware of your sentiments, how do you expect him or her to "change for the better"? Put yourself in your boss's shoes. If every day your boss tells you that he is very satisfied with your job performance but out of the blue, tells you that you are fired because you have not achieved your KPIs, how does that feel?
Since you are in charge of HR and Training & Development comes under you, why not be proactive about it. Do your planning and sell it to the boss. Just remember... it takes two to tango...

Dear Ali,
The word "SATISFACTION" relates to the fulfillment of one's needs, which is a psychological issue. If you think you are not satisfied with your current job, then don't hurry to quit the job. Before getting any better opportunity, if there is any scope, then try the following steps:
1) Review your current job description with duties and responsibilities.
2) Measure your performance.
3) Point out your strengths and weaknesses.
4) Try to minimize your weaknesses by participating in various training.

"Know yourself well" and examine "where you stand" in terms of your capabilities to learn. "Learning" is not something to be served on a plate; you have to acquire it through personal effort.
Any job, including the one in "time office," offers plenty of opportunities to learn. For example, have you ever tried to analyze how efficient management of the time office: (i) impacts on the "employee costs," (ii) how it contributes to the "work culture" of the organization, (iii) how technology can improve time office management, and (iv) how to integrate shift planning with time office management? Well, there are many other areas that can improve through efficient time management. These are all aspects of self-learning. If you are exposed to "Google search," are not shy of reading information on the web, and have the will to learn, nothing can stop you from gaining more knowledge and becoming an expert in "time office management." Try, if convinced!

Dear Ali,
To add to what other colleagues have proposed, I wish to add the following:
1. Consider your present position as an opportunity and make sure you do 100% justice to your job responsibilities and add innovative concepts to showcase your initiatives and achievements.
2. Understand the essence of HR and develop a thorough knowledge of various rules, regulations, and statutory compliances to be fulfilled.
3. Develop a good relationship with higher levels of HR personnel and offer to take up some additional responsibilities to demonstrate your intent.
4. Be positive and prepare a plan of where you would like to be at the end of each year. Treat every day as an opportunity and after breaking up your larger objectives into smaller ones, achieve them one by one in a systematic, progressive, time-bound manner. As is rightly said, "Plan your work and work your plan."
5. John F. Kennedy had said, "Ask not what the country has done for you, ask what you are doing for your country."
6. Common sense is one of the best attributes. Use it to find solutions.
7. Develop good English language written and spoken communication skills. This would be essential as you climb the career ladder.
My very best wishes to you for a satisfying and rewarding career.

Hello Ali,
I agree with our Senior's comments. Please do not feel it's a low-profile job for you. Maybe this is a starting point where you can prove yourself and take on much larger responsibilities in the future. I would suggest trying to efficiently develop time office systems. If leave management is also associated with this responsibility, do your best to discipline and guide employees regarding leave rules and proper recording. If you excel in one of these functions, management will trust you, and then you can request more HR tasks.
Best wishes! With regards, Vaishalee Parkhi

First of all, stop feigning satisfaction. How will your boss even know that you are not satisfied with the job?
Second, seek an appointment with the boss for a detailed discussion on what you can do for the organization. In the meeting, tell your boss nicely but clearly what you expect from the job. Also, tell him what you can do in addition to your present job. Remember, these additional tasks that you offer to do should be relevant to the organization's objectives, and your offer should be for doing something in addition to, not in place of, your current job.

Dear Ali,
There is so much you can do in that outfit, so do not throw in the towel yet. No matter what the core business of that organization is, its human resources need to be trained and re-trained, remember? Just do a training needs analysis, then get them trained!
So look around, see what people are doing as opposed to what they are supposed to be doing as per their job descriptions, thrash out the gaps, and fill them, bearing in mind the organization's goals. You will be better off doing a business case first, presenting it to management, and if approved, you can roll out your questionnaire for the skills gap analysis. When it comes to planning, executing, and evaluating the training, we are here... when you get there, our tit-bits will flow. Please let us know how you are getting on. All the best!
