The Decisions That Matter

To Stay being as HR & be a true HR Proffessional.Like many persons condemned my decision to be as HR in terms of Growth & Pay packages,but it feels good where you act as Godfather to the Organisational Growth & Policy & your works become a role model for the organisation & peoples to follow & grow.

Sometimes it becomes tough to maintain & time factor is the crucial part.But you have to remember that company is paying for your time so, forget all the worries & family matters before entering the office & concentrate on your work,in this your family has to play an important part to understand.

Growth Strategy:

Always be in touch with the Senior Person of the industry,news paper,online reports & be up to date with the changing rule,regulation & policy of the govt.Reading books & news articles of the HR Proffession & understanding the people's & organisational Psychology with changing time & acting upon it.
