Hi all,

I have recently joined a financial firm where I have to set up the HR department from scratch. This firm has 25 employees. The culture is quite open.

Can you please advise me on how I should go about it?

As this is a small firm, you need to systematize the operational aspects of the HR department functioning. First of all, get all the data on the number of employees, their background, career profile, compensation structure, career growth profile, grade-wise distribution, etc. Then look for the legal and statutory compliances like PF, ESI, Gratuity, Bonus, Shop & Establishment, etc. Then comes the preparation of policy documents like recruitment, standard designations, promotion policy, compensation structure, increments & bonus, leave, discipline & punishment rules, superannuation policy, etc.

Create a folio for the training and development activities, starting with the training need assessment. You need to keep on thinking to make the HR function a strategic partner to the business. So try to understand the organizational strategy and try to integrate the HR plan to suit the same.
