I spoke to employees and their team leaders so many times but they always gives excuses related to health issues, or couldn't wake up and all.
Total company size is 17 employees. I do monthly reviews also just to understand them and about their work and any problems if they have. And put the same in front of CEO.
Just want to know what else I can do.

Dear Friend,
I will share my personal thought " I believe that we should consider our self as child in playground, who has whole ground to play in different ways & thinking of possibility in best way and enjoy himself " likewise think of possibility what you can do for greater good, for those who are around you.." Play, Learn, Earn, Share & Grow...
"Only dead people don't have problems, you have problems that mean you are alive and it's good think... on other hand you have problem that means you have solution for it, just you have to search it out.."
Always be self-motivated & set a goal for your future, remember that there is always better place & better thing's in this world.
“Just love your work, what you do”. When you will be focused on your work, it does not matter whether you are alone or in team. I give example of my-self despite i am working in HR department with four other people i am alone, but great thing is that i enjoy my work as a professional and do my best for betterment of organisation & for its employee.
Hope it will be helpful to you, all the best for your search for betterment.....

It is an Individual Choice. You want to be 'Big Fish in a Small Pond' or a 'Small Fish in a Big Pond' . My choice was, when i was on my initial stage, i preferred to be a "Big Fish in a Small Pond", that gave me lot of opportunity to learn and achieve.

Dear Richa,
I have read your queries and responses of the guidance given by experienced personnel.
My observation is that :-
1) Size of the organization big/small does'nt matter, if your management has clear business objectives and clarity on what they expect from the employees And is clearly communicated to the employees, then it becomes easier for the HR person to setup the system in place.
1) Since, you are the only HR person, and do not get much directions from the management but is expected to run the HR Dept smoothly without any escalations to them, then i suggest that keep your work simple to start with -
1) Make the employee datasheet (Excel Fomat) with all information - Employee Name, Employee Code, Designation, Department, Brief Role, Reporting Manager, Date of Joining, Salary details (Breakup), Next Increment Date, Next Appraisal Due Date, Training's Attended, Leave, Attendance, PF, Benefits Allowed, Reimbursements, etc.
You can keep adding to the list as per Co. Policies.
This you can keep on compiling and updating on daily basis as a routine job. In a months time, you should be able to capture all details of 50 persons. This will help you to know ypour employees well.
2) To start with - Prepare Attendance and Leave Record - A MUST - To track in-time & out-time of the employees in EXCEL SHEET. And on monthly basis, you should be able to analyze and submit report to Management, if the attendance and leave is not satisfactory - Since this is a small organization - i suggest you personally talk to those and try to understand their problem and sort it out, rather than writing letters and notices.
3) On regular basis, meet different team members/groups to assess their satisfaction level w.r.t work, culture, behavior, facilities, benefits, their expectations from the management, and has they been met or not. Write down those points and as a Good HR Manager - start working around fulfillment of those needs - creating BEST Practices for the Organization. Remember, each organization is different and have different arrangements, so you have to work around the resources available to you in cost effective manner to bring smoothness within the organization.
4) Performance Appraisal, Increments, Promotions - Are VERY Important - So design the best suited policies as per your companies BUDGET - And follow the deadlines - this gives confidence to the employees that they are being taken care of by the management.
5) Communicate the policies to the Employees through mail and display in the notice boards.
6) Have Fun time for the employees - Have Birthday Parties, Outings , Picnics, Competitions, In-house magazine showcasing the Companies updates, new changes, achievement of the employees, HR initiatives taken, Policy updates, various tie-up with food vendors for hot snacks, lunch for the employees at nominal rates. Tie-up with PayTM, UBER, OLA and benefit your employees. Likewise there are many things to do to make the Office happening. YOUR EMPLOYEES SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO YOU - WHAT NEXT????
All these activities will bring creativity in your work and improve your presence in the organization.
But before that, your willingness to do is important, ask yourself - can i do it, if yes, then start working on it One By One. You will Love it and Enjoy your work.
Hope you understand my point. HR is all about - maintaining Good Harmonious relation with the people in the organization - And here HR plays a very important role as a GOOD MANAGER.
Cheers !!!

Hi Richa,
It all Depends on the type of Industry/Company you work in and also on the Head count you are given to manage.
Also keep in mind being the only person to manage the HRD has its own pros and cons and vice versa if working in a group of HR. Both can give you great experiences if you began to take the positive texture out of it.
But at the end of the day if you enjoy doing your role and feel that your doing justice to yourself and at work, then there's nothing to worry about, just keep rolling the dice.
And talking about facing issues, wherever you go issues will follow you, just like your shadow.
So all you got to do is keep looking straight and don't look back, every issue/problem has a solution to it!
If there's a will then there's a way too !!
Cheers ! and Wishing you all the best !
