HR in Pakistan

Some time before I wrote a blog entry on another blog (that I have stopped writing on now due to some reasons). I wrote about conventional HR departments working in most of the Pakistani organizations. I got good response and so many comments from people. Most of them were youngsters who wanted to know more about HR and its scope in Pakistan so that they could make a choice for their career. Here are some suggestions for our aspiring new HR professionals.

You should definitely make career in HR if:

- You can think of innovative ways in which you can use policies and procedures against the employees .

- You are good at counting. You can count all papers, stationary and office stuff being used by employees in detail.

- You like to stay busy and for that you can make planes out of paper that fly high…


- You love to stay informed. You like to know that who’s involved in whom and who is having lunch with whom. Why the finance guy is giving sales secretary a ride back home and why the receptionist is sitting late…


- You are an expert manipulator....

- You love Sherlock Holmes stories and you think that you are his real version.

- You think that if someone is wearing branded clothes and coming in expensive car then they don’t need an increment!

- You have a form to be filled by employees each time they come to you. Its a tool to keep employees staying away from HR!

- You think that it’s good to fire someone once in a while to maintain a healthy turn over

- Job rotation is the best way to punish someone who is not behaving…

- You think that employees should be motivated enough realizing that they have a job and getting salary every month.


- You believe that cost cutting is a must and in favor of organization and that too on the expense of employee benefits!

- Performance evaluation is a way to remind employees that HR is there and they should better keep HR happy! If you do have the above qualities then Congratulations!!! There is no doubt that you will have a prosperous future as an HR professional...Welcome to the HR community...
