Hello All,
As noted in the above title, I’m going to enquire about an entrepreneurial organisation.
I have been looking into a role and the company are now looking to develop a HR department. The role I am looking into is varied and the recruiter has advised that it will include a few ad hoc tasks during the first few months.
However, my concern is if the current employees will accept change? They all seem to follow the same entrepreneurial mindset as the CEO and the way of working is very agile. There do not seem to be any processes put into place in regards to recruitment etc.
The company has been running for over thirty years and has great success, but it does seem very relaxed in its approaches to professionalism . I’m just concerned my experience isn’t enough to support a new HR function .
Any previous knowledge/experience working in an agile company in a HR role would be appreciated
Annie
I agree with the points already made.
I joined an agile company, similar to the one you've described and I have found it to be the most rewarding experience. I was welcomed with open arms and open minds. The processes I implemented were necessary ones, that were openly discussed with all, which resulted in greater acceptance. You mention relaxed in professionalism as if this is a negative, what is your deeper concern?
I have found that longer term my role is to focus on employee experience rather than policies and procedures. And I much prefer it this way!
