Dear Bosses,
I will represent your new employees
or some fresh graduates thinking when they enter your company for doing their first
experience of work. I understand if these ones can not highly relate to your company
since every company has its own standard of operation (SOP), right? But, I hope you got some
insight about what your employee wants as they work under your company, likely
the facilities they will get, and the pride to work in the organization. I guess this is the reason how important a Human Resources (HR) staff’s duty in the
company. They will keep the company's reputation in the public by recruiting good
employees and provide the best support system for the employees inside the
office building.
Hereby, I do not talk from an HR point of
view. But, I used to handle HR administration and recruit one or two new
staff. I want to share some insights from new staffs when they enter the door’s
company on their first day of work.
Disclaimer: It is all about some fresh-graduated
employee thoughts, count in me and my friends when we had a job interview for
some companies.
Let’s get started…
1. What will we get from your company?
We know the main reason we applied
to the company is that we need a job, a monthly pay so we could
survive in our daily life. Also, people said that the first company we enter
after graduate from school is the best way to add more value and skills. We
do not expect we look for another company or job if the organization makes us improve
a lot.
A good leader, an organized
structure, a solid teammate, and etc. We expect we get this information from
the HR department at the time they call us for the job interview.
2. Are our supervisors care enough about our private life?
I mean, this statement is about a
work-life balance. People expect they got a work-life balance. We come to the
office building at 8 a.m. and finish our work time at 5 p.m. That means,
our-nine-hours, from Monday to Friday we give for the company. Then, let us enjoy the rest of our hours in a day for our personal matters to have some
quality time with our beloved family and friends. Thank you.
3. What pride to be a member of your company?
Based on some stories from my friends
who work in different companies: from small or start-up companies,
middle-level companies, and five-starred companies, I believe it will set our
mind to have pride being one of the members in your company. It is like:
“Hello, it is me. I am ____. And
work in ____”.
If I still handle HR
responsibility, I would be proud of my coworkers say it to their relatives'
outside organization proudly. It will be the HR department's key to success to
bring a good reputation to the public.
4. Do we have an independent department?
What is an HR Independent? What is it
like?
In my deep opinion, HR Departement
should be stood by its feet, and ha no interfere with other departments. Why?
Because HR personnel would arrange all of employees matters—employee personal data,
employee family members data—of course, the salary that employee would get in
the period. Those are basic kinds of stuff that another employee from another department
can not overhear. If I could illustrate it, the HR Department area should be
located at the end of the corridor in the lowest level or highest level of the
building so that not every person or employee could reach it. Hehehe.
How will HR personnel work?
As an independent HR personnel work,
their duty is to bridge between the executives and the management; and most
industry also has HR personnel to bridge the management level and the staffs.
It depends on their needs.
In comparison to my friends’
experience work in the companies with an Independent HR Departement and which
have not independent HR yet:
- With an Independent HR Department,
employees would feel safe about their rights; they could guarantee their life
insurance would be saved under the company; and of course, employee trust to the
company will be an increase, as well.
- On the other hand, I think I no
need to write it in full since it’s kind of contradictive things.
5. How is our Health and Safety Environment?
Oh, I already told you a bit about this
part in the last paragraph of the previous number.
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) the program would have a close relation to governance regulation, especially in human
resources ministry. The state—I mean, the government has the best rule for all
workers in the land, including the pieces of stuff about health, safety, and the environment
in the area of working. Next, the company—the top management and HR Departement
would adjust the regulation into the organization culture. So, employees would
get an advantage from it.
JJJ
Alright, I think it Is I want to
share with you all. I hope readers who read this blog post will get some insight
into the basic duties of HR staff, and give your respect toward them. Their duties
not only about your satisfaction to work in the company/organization, more than
that they hold a big responsibility. It is trust.
And now, you can go on to scroll
down this blog and get some of your interest here.
Thank you.
