Hi !

I have been given the responsibility of setting up HR department of an Information Technology  company. Where should I start and what all I have to take care?

Any advice on this topic will be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Ayesha

Hi Ayesha,

That supposedly becomes the question of the HR times. There are a few basic steps to follow for the same.

Step 1 - Identify the need of an HR Department

Initiated by Management

Step II -  Current Staffing plan

Man power planning methods

Future man power requirements

Step III - Any exisiting policies and procedure ( Yes - No ) 

If No, Management focus on Policies and Procedures

Employees maturity level and skill

Age group

Qualification

PODSCERB----- Method

Arriving at Beta Version

Test Run

Bench Marking

Setting Expectations

Informing employees

Formulating the policies in the form of a manual

Evaluating thro external auditing

Implementing

These are the steps which i had come thru earlier from some excerpt.

I recently started to create an HR dept.

My first q to management was, why do they need HR.

Second I started to do a Audit on their Policies and procedure.

You can start from the same.
