Hello All,
I would appreciate it if someone could help me set up a new HR administration in an SME. It's been nearly one year since I started working with an SME in Pune. I was the first HR in this company, and now I want to develop some practices, engage employees, conduct sections, and grow the team. However, I am facing problems meeting the company's recruitment deadlines.
Additionally, I am looking for suggestions on how to improve employee welfare and development. Currently, we have a team of 15 members.
Seniors, please suggest..!

Dear Sonal,
HR administration does not change, whether you are an SME or otherwise. Currently, the employee strength of your company is 15. However, you should treat your company as if you have 1,500 employees and do everything that needs to be done.
Your intentions are noble. You want to bring positive change to your organization; however, how much buy-in do you have from your top boss? These are the times when you need to shape your organization definitively. Without proper support from leadership, achieving this will not be possible.
Regarding your inability to meet recruitment deadlines, this issue is common for all small enterprises. This is due to the lack of brand pull. Nowadays, all candidates prefer to work for branded companies as each day adds value to their CV. In this context, small enterprises often receive only a small share of the job market. Therefore, your management needs to focus on building the company's brand to attract qualified candidates. Brand building is a deliberate activity, and management must prioritize it.
There are several actions you can take, but we can discuss where to prioritize them over the phone. Feel free to call me on my mobile if you find it appropriate.
Thanks,

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the suggestion. Recruitment is actually a tough job nowadays for SMEs. Still, I am trying my level best for the same. Engaging employees and looking out for their welfare is also very critical for me as we have 2 locations, and everyone has different timings there and here. So, we cannot celebrate days, play group games, or go for outings as our company provides 24/7/365 days of services. Someone has to be in the office. It has become a difficult task for me to handle all this, but I cannot lose hope. I want to make changes and keep my employees happy!
