HR managment in india.

In India HR management is growing since IT and other domains are started keeping a big force of HR people.What HR group is expected to do for an organization.

HR have to recruit people.
HR have track people's performance in company.
HR have to manage resources for different units.
HR have to hear grievances and organize events for welfare of company.

But in current scenario HR is not able to fullfill what is expected from this group.
Common issues employees are facing in companies are as below.

Hrs are not responding on time.If you mailed a HR then don't expact his reply on time.She may or may not reply.OR she will reply after 2 3 days , & point some one else responsible.For this point i want to quote one story My friend went for an interview.They asked him to stay outside ,after interview first round .He seated there for 1 hour then he asked watchman(receptionist was not at desk).so watch man called HR and i don't know what they discussed .&my friend was asked to leave as he is not selected.After half an hour he got call from same HR that where are u ?Second round interview is scheduled.So this make no sense .Treating people in this raw manner.

HRs are not able to manage resources in companies.The kind of strength sitting idle on the so called benches in different IT organization , but HR people are sleeping on there desks.They cant even imagine how much big loss they are making for company.The people who are on benches are getting frustrated with making loss for company and spreading bad news.But the gr8 HR department have there own policies and they are all the time busy..(sorry very busy.)


HR people are making some money from consultancies so when ever one person got selected through a consultancy obviously Consultancy get 10 % of his annual CTC and eventually HR get hefty 2 to 5 % on that so why HR person will go and engage internal people on bench in for different units they want to make more and more from recruiting outside.

Another point on which Indian Hrs failed.They offer minimum possible package for a new recruit.I understand that is there job.But they should negotiate on his skills and past experience +current market standards.What Indian HR will do they negotiate on last withdrawn salary.That is fine but in some special cases the previous package is less so employee didn't get better hike and he get frustrated later and leave.


On other front where Indian HR is performing poorly is internal events.What exactly they are doing either they are arranging events for particular group.Or only bright people from the group.There is no participation for all the people either people are busy there routine work or HR is busy completing that event in some conference hall or a part of cafeteria.Its responsibility of HR every one should participate in a organized event.They should mould a event in a way so every one contribute and feel like part of the organization.


Most important problem with Indian HR is they failed to check employee satisfaction level at there work place.They are not even making policies for happiness of people.NO job rotation nothing if you are doing something and you are good at it they no one will come to you and ask are you looking for some change.Its Hrs responsibility to see whether a employee is happy or not But in Indian scenario a manager who is basically busy with fulfilling his own needs are looking upon an employee.which makes the life miserable for employee.


On the above issue most crucial issue is still on bench people and work dissatisfaction.

I hope some HR will read this article and change his way of action.
