Transforming the Perception of HR: Engaging Strategies for Workplace Culture

I do agree, Dada.

Just 3+ years, really not a big journey. But whereas, quantity doesn't matter, "Quality it matters." I have come across all the responsibilities, perhaps worked as SPC in a 150-employee organization.

But, can you please suggest me anything other than recruitment, induction programs, PMS, ER, documentation, CM, ISO standards, CMM standards?

Shiv

Friends,

Try Innovative HR. Make your own practices to improve. It is continuous learning.

For your reference, please see the attachment on HR TOMORROW.

I can understand and do agree with you upto certain extent. We can’t avoid doing repeating tasks but we can fill our job with lot many new things daily and do amendment with the old tasks to make the work challenging.

Examples:-

1) We do have some pairs of dresses – if we wore same pair of dress every day it will become boring that’s why we do experiments with our dresses to make good dress sense every day to look good and different.

2) We have our own flats/house/rooms to live – it will bore us soon if we don’t change interior and colours of walls (whitewash) after a span of time.

Like this there are lot many examples to define.

Conclusion:-

1) We must accept a challenge to remove sickness from our work.

2) We have to make useful experiment with our past work to make future work smoother.

3) As HR is a daily learning process – so – we have to learn many new things and expand our area through discussion and learning new thinks from other HR professionals (*for that CiteHr is too good*)

4) Workout with future challenges to prepare ourselves for any change.

Dear Colleague,

One is apt to develop such a feeling if one's sphere of activity is within narrow confines. HR offers unlimited scope for learning and development of the individual. It depends upon the individual as well as the organization one is working for. You are a far junior official in the ocean of HR. Even in recruitment, there are lightning changes taking place. How much your experience in recruitment in the present assignment will help you in other organizations is a moot point. Every youngster should strive for having more and more learning opportunities. When you feel the work is going to be routine for some more years, this is the right time for you to shift your career to other organizations, including manufacturing organizations where you will have exposure to strict compliances of labor laws; administration of contract labor; negotiation with hardcore labor leaders; development of wage and career policies for personnel, laying down norms for productivity, conducting great functions for employees, running house magazines and newsletters, and launching many other innovative programs for employee engagement.

If one has good exposure to the whole gamut of HR/Admin for about ten years backed up by professional qualifications, he will command a minimum price tag of a few lakhs a month with many offers knocking at his doors.

An exciting career beckons every HR professional who is well-prepared! Now is not the time for any youngster to feel bored even at the beginning of their career.

Dear Sundar,

Thank you for the reply. Here is what experience speaks. I am very much aware that 3 years is nothing in terms of experience. Once again, thank you a lot for the wonderful article.

Shiv

Hmm... You need to be passionate about the things you do. Once you spend a few years in a particular field, it does seem boring. This not only applies to HR but other fields as well. Ask yourself, have you done everything there is to do or know everything there is to know about Human Resources? Think about it.

Dear Shiva,

During only three years, you have gone through various job profiles. In a standard company, meeting quality standards within such a short time is challenging. I have serious doubts about the quality of your work.

Dada

Hi Shiva,

It is true that experience speaks volumes. How about organizing a small meeting for all Citehrians and inviting experts like Sundarajan to enlighten us on various aspects of HR? This way, we can avoid finding this field boring and apply the knowledge gained in our organizations.

Thanks and best regards,
Savithri

Hi Shiv, if you really think HR is boring, then please consider exploring more interesting and challenging job options such as insurance selling or selling prepaid and postpaid connections. You might find it to be quite enjoyable. Your vacant position could be filled by someone who is genuinely interested and engaged in the role.

Friends, what do you think? Nice idea, isn't it?

Dear Shiva,

Have you ever heard, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." Similarly, life is what you perceive. For someone, spending life like you do may be a dream job, but not for you. This is your perception.

As you say, three years is not a small period as you think. Every moment of your life is valuable experience. But still, one should have continuous learning in life and make dynamic changes... Think wisely, maybe you want to implement your strengths in other domains of HR. HR is such a vast field from Recruitment to Employee Engagement. Value your present life and explore better avenues.

Whatever you do, at the end of the day, you should feel pride that you are worthy of your job and feel happy.

My Best Wishes...
