Human Resource Departmentin Small Organisations:

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Being a human resource professional in a small company isn't the same as being the one in MNC's or any bigger organisation. Its still a struggle for the Hr departments in such organisations with other departments for proving its worth, importance and necessity in the organisation. This is in contradiction to what it is in bigger organisation where HR has the power of decision making for many employee based activities and plans.

Most of the departments in the small organisations have a very small team and the person leading the team is its HR Manager. With so many HR managers in the organisation it becomes a place of confusion and non-clarity of roles . Many a times the management considers HR department as burden. I know most of my HR friends (working for MNC's & bigger companies) wont agree with this as they feel now a days HRD has reached a stage where it has become an integral part of the oraganisation and it is almost impossible to run the company without a dedicated HR department. I agree with most of them as far as the organisations with higher number of employees are concerned and where for handling the lifecycle of the employee there is need for someone to handle the same. But such is not the case with smaller organisations as there are not more than 50 employees working in these companies and managing them is not that big a task if taken up by their individual line managers.

These organisations (especially the ones which are driven by the marketing & sales department) solely depend on the sale of their products and hence the profit of the company which runs the company for next couple of months. Here the whole management is handheld and led by the marketing & sales department, the so called HR being the coordinator and operator & they being the decision makers.

HR is not involved in any kind of strategic planning for these companies. They can only be the ones who can operate this strategic plans as all these future planning is done considering only the increase in the sales and profit of the organisation and not productivity from each employee. But in this planning what they forget is that the sales and profit of any organisation are finally linked with the productivity of each employee and factors contributing to the same.

As soon as these organisations realise the real importance of dedicated HR department and its authorities, start considering their employees as their assets, start introducing benefit plans, schemes, growth plans for these employees then they will surely be able to raise the organisation's sales and profit numbers to higher levels and can move towards their goal of being a company with higher and higher turnover every year. This is simply based on the action and reaction theory of Newton "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" as employees happy with their organisations are main contributors to its success & growth & vice a versa.
