Hi to all,
Why is the HR person in small firms treated like a puppet? All the decisions are taken by the management, and ultimately, we have to handle the consequences. You can't even suggest ideas to them. And in return, they expect everything from our side.

Dear Sach,
You could have given a little more details like your designation, type of business you are in, whether yours is a private or public limited company, etc. If you feel that you are a puppet, then let me tell you, my dear friend, that almost every single employee in most departments feels like a puppet. You might be in HR, and that is why you feel like a puppet. Nevertheless, why do people become puppets?

Hello Sach 001,
In small organizations, the big boss is the law. Almost all departments would suffer in the same way. Such organizations seldom grow. Very few sensible entrepreneurs try to run their organization professionally. Growth is signified by professionals joining the organizations and earning a reputation for the way it is run.

Well, this is a common problem in many small organizations, but it also depends on the level of the employees. If you are a fresher or have less experience working in junior profiles, then you have to follow the instructions. However, if you have a really good idea that you want to share, you can tell your reporting person.

Dear all,
Mr. Divekar's reply is apt. Please give full details for discussion. Further, management is the final authority to make decisions, then reap the good or bad. The staff has to give their views, appraise the situation, and leave the rest to management to act upon. Self-pity shall make one more feeble (feeling like a puppet).

Dear Mr. Sach,
Mr V. Raghunathan has already mentioned that the Boss of the firm is the Law and all other employees are puppets. This is true to a great extent in the small or even medium-sized company [I won't call it an Organization] in probably all the departments. Any employee not adopting this culture is either thrown out or compelled to leave the company. These types of companies do not grow. Hence, if you are looking for a bright future, find out if you have the courage to speak to the BOSS on this issue. Can you convince the BOSS on this matter? If you fail to do so, find another organization that suits your profile.
HR does not merely mean Recruitment/Office-Job Training/Salary/Leave/PF, etc. One of the most important job functions is to do a SWOT analysis of every individual in the firm/organization and train the people to achieve their objectives. The BOSS must ensure enjoyment of the job by every individual employee.

Hi,
Organizations are driven by business needs and ultimately profit. It is business that provides us with a salary. You should never feel like a puppet because even your boss is driven by business/profit needs. If you try to apply the same standard way of working everywhere in every situation, you will always feel uncomfortable and out of place. Please try to understand the business requirements and act accordingly. Do not assume that practices your 'X' friend in 'Y' company is following can also be applied in your current organization. Practices and habits should be adapted as per the business/organization's requirements.
Thanks

I tend to agree with Mr. Divekar.
In any employment, a person will be listened to by the management only if:
- He makes a visible contribution.
- He has the courage to frankly tell the boss what he feels.
- He makes himself indispensable by his work, knowledge, and skills.
- He is always mentally willing to quit if he cannot align with the boss; here, the need is the key issue.
All of the above is not possible for most of us; hence, the working solution to this is to get the responsibility and authority clear, see if it is honored, give feedback, and then if it does not suit your temperament, decide to tolerate it as long as you want or quit. Please keep in mind that the next organization may not be very different.
