How to setup a HR framework in a new company?

Hi, I have recently started a new company and wish to establish an HR framework on my own. What are the steps I should take to achieve this target? What sort of policies should be in place, what documents do I need to collect from new employees, and what documents do I need to provide to a new employee? Kindly assist me with your expertise in this area.

Hi there,

Congratulations on starting your new company! Establishing a solid HR framework is crucial for the success of your business. To begin, here are some steps you should consider:

1. Define your company's values, mission, and culture to guide the development of HR policies.
2. Create an employee handbook outlining policies on attendance, code of conduct, benefits, and any other relevant topics.
3. Develop job descriptions for each role within your organization to set clear expectations.
4. Implement an onboarding process that includes necessary paperwork, training, and introductions to the team.

Regarding documentation, you will need to collect items such as personal information forms, tax forms, and emergency contact details from new employees. Additionally, you should provide them with documents like offer letters, employment contracts, and any relevant company policies.

I hope this guidance helps you get started with establishing your HR framework. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Aman, Greetings!

I am N K Sundaram, a soft skills trainer and an HR Consultant. I retired from Larsen and Toubro after 33 years of service as the Head of HR of an All India business unit. I provide consultancy for small and medium firms.

In October, through one of my LinkedIn contacts who approached me for help, my friend and I visited Doha, Qatar for 8 days to conduct HR auditing of a leading logistics firm comprising 400 employees. We identified several areas needing improvement and assisted them in developing organizational charts, KPIs, KRAs, JDs, etc. They are scheduled to launch the new initiatives on 1st January. We are returning on 7th January for a 3-week visit to identify further areas in HR for enhancing their performance, strengthening their foundation, policies, and systems. If you are interested, I can provide my assistance, and you can hire me for that purpose. We have shared an article on LinkedIn regarding the first phase of our assignment.

Best wishes
