HR Executive

We are looking for a strong, hands-on HR leader who can build people, strengthen performance and create a high-accountability organisation.

We are seeking an experienced HRD / Senior HR Executive who can take ownership of the complete employee lifecycle — from onboarding and training through to performance management, development and appraisals.

The ideal candidate will be a people-oriented but performance-driven HR professional, with strong communication skills, excellent follow-through and the ability to work closely with management and employees at all levels.

Key Responsibilities

1. Employee Onboarding & Integration

• Develop and manage a structured onboarding process for all new employees.
• Ensure new employees understand the company's culture, values, policies, responsibilities and performance expectations.
• Follow up with employees and their managers during the initial months to ensure successful integration.
• Establish clear 30/60/90-day onboarding and performance milestones.

2. Training & Employee Development

• Identify training and development needs across departments.
• Develop and coordinate structured training programs for employees at different levels.
• Maintain individual training records and monitor the effectiveness of training.
• Track employee progress following training and ensure that learning is translated into improved performance.
• Work with departmental heads to identify employees with high potential and develop appropriate career-development plans.

3. Performance Management & Appraisals

• Build a robust and objective performance-management system.
• Establish clear KPIs and measurable performance objectives for employees.
• Maintain regular performance tracking throughout the year rather than relying only on annual appraisals.
• Ensure managers conduct meaningful performance reviews and provide regular feedback.
• Identify performance gaps early and work with managers and employees on improvement plans.
• Drive a structured annual appraisal process and ensure that appraisals are evidence-based and properly documented.
• Help management identify and reward high performers while addressing underperformance appropriately.

4. Employee Engagement & Retention

• Develop initiatives that improve employee engagement, motivation and retention.
• Maintain regular communication with employees and understand their concerns.
• Conduct employee feedback and engagement initiatives and convert feedback into actionable improvements.
• Help create a culture of accountability, recognition and continuous development.

5. HR Systems & Processes

• Establish and maintain clear HR policies, procedures and documentation.
• Maintain accurate employee records and HR dashboards.
• Develop meaningful HR metrics covering recruitment, onboarding, training, performance, absenteeism, retention and employee development.
• Provide management with regular reports and insights on people-related matters.

6. HR Business Partnership

• Work closely with senior management and departmental heads as a strategic HR partner.
• Support managers in recruitment, team building, performance management and employee development.
• Act as a strong bridge between management and employees.
• Bring structure, discipline and consistency to HR practices across the organisation.

The Person We Are Looking For

The successful candidate should have:

• Strong experience in HR leadership, preferably in a growing or professionally managed organisation.
• Demonstrated experience in employee onboarding, training, performance management and appraisals.
• Strong understanding of how to track employee performance and development throughout the year.
• Experience in establishing KPIs, KRAs and measurable performance objectives.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• The confidence to work with senior management as well as employees at all levels.
• A practical, hands-on approach — someone who will drive implementation rather than simply create HR policies.
• Strong organisational and follow-up skills.
• The ability to identify potential, develop people and build a strong internal talent pipeline.
• High levels of integrity, maturity and confidentiality.

What We Expect From This Role

We are looking for someone who can move HR from being primarily administrative to being a genuine driver of organisational performance.

The person should be able to answer three important questions about every employee:

1. Have we onboarded and trained this person properly?

2. Are we continuously tracking and developing their performance?

3. Do we have a clear, objective basis for their appraisal and career progression?

The successful candidate will be expected to establish systems that make these processes structured, measurable and consistent across the organisation.

Experience

10+ years of relevant HR experience, with substantial experience in HR leadership, employee development and performance management.

Experience in a manufacturing / textile / industrial / multi-location organisation would be an advantage.
