Im a HR professional by qualification and experience, having Masters Degree in Human Resources Management from NUST Business School.
My experience in development sector starts from working in Aghaz Consulting to TDEA FAFEN, which is more than 8 years. Apart from this, I have been working with multiple freelance writings services which not only enriched my research and report writing skills but also enhanced my analytical skills while working on various softwares including SPSS, Peach tree and MS Excel. During my tenure at multiple organizations, I have gained numerous skills and knowledge in relation to the new trends of the sector.
In start of my career, I got an opportunity to work with a consulting firm which helped me enhancing my knowledge in diversified areas. I gained extensive experience in implementation of HRIS and other ERP systems at multiple clients locations, writing reports with detailed research work and analysis, submission of multiple technical and financial proposals and maintaining client relationships.
I have been working with TDEA FAFEN, a local NGO since February 2013. Initially I was working in capacity of Human Resources Officer for one project office. I was mainly dealing with recruitment and selection, training and development, contract management, payroll facilitation, donor reporting, calculating gender ratios, preparing organograms, staff database, preparing promotion and increment letters, preparing performance reports, warning letters, final settlements, exit interviews, leave and attendance management, file management, grievance settlement, conducting staff meetings and maintaining employee relations.
Later on, I was promoted and transferred to TDEA Head Office where I was managing the HR functions for all projects and dealt with a larger employee database. I was directly reporting to Director Operations and my work became with more strategic in nature. Apart from over sighting the whole HR team and maintaining employee relations, I was responsible for management reporting, staffing projections, work plans, restructuring, coordination with program unit, improvising performance management system, assisting in due diligence and board meetings, highlighting policy issues, coordinating internal and external trainings, resolving inter disciplinary committee, conflict resolution committee and harassment committee issues.
My main achievements during my stay at TDEA FAFEN are developing online Performance Appraisal System and improvising the overall performance management system for TDEA FAFEN. Both task based and competency based appraisal was revised by identifying the outputs achieved at a broader level, redefining the job descriptions and defining managerial and non-managerial competencies. Other contributions include highlighting the issues in HR Manual and addressing them in policy review committee, improving the recruitment process, supporting the requirements of the program unit and providing ad hoc recruitment and selection services for bi-elections, improving the contract management for permanent staff, temporary staff, consultants and interns and by reviewing the terms and conditions of service, refining the HR job portal, improving formats for leave management and management reporting. I also performed my active role in event management and coordinating for internal and external trainings.
During my tenure with TDEA FAFEN, I directly supervised the HR team for head office and also provided the oversighting role for HR teams of project offices. I have always tried my level best to ensure that all HR policies and procedures are implemented across all projects in compliance with TDEA HR Manual. This helped in improving the risk rating for HR unit depicted in multiple internal and external audits.
Linked with my academic qualification, I have developed my career as HR professional. I believe that over the years I have gained the necessary skills required for the position at your esteemed organization and Im well acquainted with functioning of HR unit. If Im given a chance, I would first review the HR policies and will then analyse the SOPs for HR unit and will suggest improvements in the required areas. Policy review will ensure that HR practices are in accordance with the international standards. Effective implementation of the policy and revisiting the SOPs will ensure effective utilization of time and resources.
