New HR Manager here and I need to create a department budget. No idea where to even start, let alone end. This company is extremely unconventional with it's practices.. think startup that is not brand new.

Thank you!

Any mentors/colleagues you can reach out to? Otherwise I might hire a freelance consultant if you aren't sure where to start

I would try and see if there's someone who has experience with a startup like this that you can talk to. Otherwise a consultant seems like the best way to go.

This is tough but some things to start with. Start with your Headcount... try to think about the organizational design of your team and how much you need to execute your strategy. Then consider the cost associate to development and enable those people think Certifications, assessments etc. Then think about real estate cost if needed. Then professional fees to keep the org going, then travel expenses. Technology need for process, and reward/ incentives. Assuming your starting with no foundation I would build a cushion to float with. This is not holistic but something to start from. Good luck!

Appreciate this!

If your company uses ADP Comprehensive Services I believe they have a bundle of services they can offer like an additional consulting for HRBP, payroll, attorneys. The small business I work with is starting to move over to the system and they can provide help with stuff like this.

Hi IBM sharks 😊

So I joined IBM in May 2022 and was on bench for 5.5 months since then.I will be allocated to a project next week. Also my probation got confirmed a week back.

I have following queries-
1)With me joining a project so late, can I expect a Variable Pay in March 2023?
2)The manager told me I have flexibility to choose 2-11 shift or work in morning as everyone is flexible here. What must I do officially to get that monthly shift allowance?

Any inputs r highly appreciated guys 😊

Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

Sooo, I get really tired by like 7 or 8pm. Like no energy to do anything. But I do want to work for a couple hours at night after kids go to bed but I'm just unable to get that energy/focus.
Any advice on this? I can't drink caffeine as I'm extremely sensitive, so I just drink matcha in the morning and that's it. I also run around the house always doing chores, kids, etc. I feel guilty about not putting in those extra couple hours, which translates to dissatisfaction with my work dedication
