Don't you want to know me?

I think if you are an HR manager, somebody of a higher rank or even her staff should take the initiave to tour her around and introduce her to each department. That's what the HR staff does in our office, if ever there is a newly hired employees.

hi there, you have a point and that i think she also has to get to know the people she is working with but then, she is probably not that type of person we think she should be. she might be a shy or not so vocal type of person. if it was me, it wont bother me if my manager doesn't really talk to me or even ignores me. i don't care. just as long as i am doing my own job right, finish them on time and get paid hehe. oh and yeah, if i was the manager, i think i would also try to communicate with my co workers because that is how i am but alsoi want to limit myself too.

My opinion on this..She ought to know employees. HR Manager should have knowledge about each and everyone unless she's just there for the position and someone's doing the tasks for her. To be an understanding and effective HR Manager, she should have the effort to learn things about the employees. The way she does her job will not make her an effective one. Don't worry, she'll perhaps will not last longer he he he...I just hope a better one will have the position. Goodluck on your job!

That seems a little shady. If I were hired as a new HR Manager, the only reason I wouldn't try to get to know people around me better is when my job entailed letting a lot of people go. It would make my job a lot easier when I start firing them. Otherwise, I would make the effort to know everybody! I hope she's not like this!

Oh, this was surprising... Being in a high position in a company, it is one of your duties to know your officemates. Specially when you are working with them hand-in-hand... I wonder why that person don't have initiation to know her staff. Shyness must be avoided when you are in a working place. You are all in the company to work together as one, so it's better to have communications with other employees.

Being an HR manager is not an enviable position. You always have to be free from biases and the best means is to remain aloof until you gain the edge of knowing who the employees are. When you get close to some employees, it might create a wrong impression especially when you handle the disciplinary part of the job. Some people do find it rather difficult to interact immediately until they have thoroughly known the character of the people they are working with. With the power of observation you will know the employees for what they are. It is a part of the job for which HR is trained for.I have had the experience of working in that capacity and I will tell you frankly, it is better not to have any close friendly relationships. It's not a thankful job being in between the workers and the management. A balance is often very difficult to achieve.

Did you introduce yourself to the HR manager? Maybe the person was looking for an opening or a welcome of some kind? Perhaps you should take the initiative if the opportunity presents itself to you. Offer to make introductions to help them feel comfortable while getting to know people.

In any organisation whether big or small the employees are supposed to know eachother for happy friendly interaction I have worked in colleges for more than 45 years, whenever some new staff joined, while i was the principal, i used to organize a welcome meeting, where this new person introduced himself/herself

She might have been nervous to introduce herself as she is the outsider right now that needs to be made welcome and not vice-versa. Give her a little time as I am sure she is trying to learn about everyone slowly but surely. Throw a welcome party for her and I am sure everything will change a lot.

So how would he will make an evaluation of each employee or maybe each department heads or supervisor as the rank and file employees may be rated by their corresponding supervisor. By the two months period being the HR manager, he should be getting acquainted with most people. He shouldn't have to memorized the names of each one of you. But at least he should be seen talking with some of you. An HR people does not finished their task in hiring of people. They should also take care your welfare and benefits.

O f course i will orient all employees arond me to let know them.How u can communicate ur things to be done in ur company if u dont know each other...Maybe that mnager u have is so strict and arrogant.Bad character maybe..
