Structure of HR Department
? 105 people in HR Department are spread across 6 major manufacturing ? ? ? ?

locations in India. 5 different hierarchical levels exist in the organization. HR Department is primarily engaged in traditional HR activities like recruiting, training, performance appraisal, employee motivation etc. HR department has been instrumental in introducing new practices like Six-Sigma, PLM software. Unique HR practices ? Implementation of “Optiva”, PLM Software ? Performance Focused Management System (PFMS) ? Introduction of Work study. ? Tie-ups with other Institutes.

Key Challenges
? Reduce the Attrition rate and retain talented workforce
? Redesigning salary structure and incentive schemes. ? Break the shackles of traditional HR practices and play

a strategic role in the organization

Supporting Evidence
? The line manager seemed to be frustrated with the high attrition

of young employees in his group. 3 out of 8 people in his group had left in the last six months for higher education.
? The elitist salary structure also is a cause of concern. HR has to

talk with the management to have a flatter salary structure. Incentive of Rs 1200 and 750 per month may not motivate the technical employees.
? The HR needs to automate its existing processes so as to become

an employee champion. HR also needs to enhance downward communication.

Recommendations
? Scholarships to be awarded to talented young employees who wish to

pursue higher education.
? HR should test the commitment level of individuals while recruiting

them.
? HR should be prepared with training programs for recruits from non-

conventional colleges to bring them to the company’s standard.
? Bringing in competitive workforce and develop a competitive

environment.
? As these people will have to be recruited at higher salary ,HR can

redesign the overall salary structure over a period of time.

Continued…
? HR can take a employee survey for designing an effective incentive

scheme.
? The existing HR processes should be automated ? HR has to improve upon its downward communication . ? HR should create a conducive environment to facilitate a Psychological

Contract between employees and organization.

orgnization.

actual HR practices.

practices.

HR cops up with these diversities.
