Hi Team,

I recently joined a gaming company; it's a startup, and there is no HR department. I have to set up the HR department from the ground up. Please suggest where I should start first and foremost. How can I connect with the employer and employees?

Thank you.

Dear Colleague,

You have already started your HR journey as you began thinking, "What should I do?" HR is not rocket science; it is more about common sense. You may start by establishing a simple structure for the HR department, incorporating technology tools that suit your business.

Here are some steps to consider:
1. Understand the expectations of management and the business.
2. Create simple processes to drive these expectations.
3. List and convert expectations into activities/initiatives.
4. Organize them within the organizational structure.
5. Determine the HR department structure and assign roles. Keep it simple at the start.

Broadly, use technology-driven tools for:
- Talent Planning & Role Description
- Talent Acquisition
- Talent Management
- Talent Development
- Talent Engagement and Experience
- Talent Life Cycle Management
- Compensation and Benefit Management
- Compliance Management
- Stakeholder Management
- Talent/Employee Relations

Use common sense to find simple solutions for complex business expectations. Success comes from meeting the expectations of business leaders, employees, and stakeholders, but it requires focused hard work and an understanding of the business, its environment, and realities.
