🌟Good HR Doesn’t Just Manage Employees. It Builds the Workplace They Want to Stay In.

A workplace can have great policies.

But what employees remember is how those policies are actually lived.

THANAL is looking for an HR Executive in Vythiri, Wayanad, to take ownership of HR operations at its centre — from recruitment and onboarding to payroll coordination, employee relations and statutory compliance.

This is an opportunity for an HR professional who doesn’t want to simply process paperwork, but wants to understand people, solve workplace problems and keep an organisation running smoothly.

🌟About THANAL:
THANAL is a nonprofit charitable organisation working across community-focused initiatives and social support programmes. Its people operations require organised HR systems, responsible employee management and a workplace culture built around care and accountability.

💡About the Role:
As an HR Executive, you’ll serve as the primary HR point of contact for employees at the Wayanad centre.

You’ll manage the employee lifecycle, coordinate recruitment and staffing, maintain HR documentation, support attendance and payroll processes, respond to employee concerns and work with central teams on compliance and HR initiatives.

The role combines HR generalist responsibilities with hands-on HR operations, making ownership and communication especially important.

📌Key Responsibilities:
📌 Manage day-to-day HR activities and employee lifecycle processes at the centre.

📌 Coordinate recruitment from manpower planning and candidate sourcing through interviews, selection and joining.

📌 Maintain employee records, personnel files, HR trackers and HR MIS.

📌 Coordinate onboarding, confirmation, transfers, promotions and exit formalities.

📌 Monitor attendance, leave, regularisation and working-hour records.

📌 Prepare accurate monthly payroll inputs and coordinate corrections with the central Payroll team.

📌 Handle employee queries and grievances while escalating sensitive matters appropriately.

📌 Support disciplinary, warning and performance-related processes in line with organisational policies.

📌 Maintain HRMS data and ensure employee documentation remains complete and audit-ready.

📌 Coordinate PF, ESI, professional tax and other applicable statutory compliance requirements.

📌 Support employee engagement, induction, orientation, training and welfare initiatives.

📌 Prepare HR reports covering manpower, attendance, recruitment, attrition, leave and other centre-level metrics.

📌 Work with Finance, Administration, Operations and Central HR on employee-related requirements.

🎯Requirements:
🎯 Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Social Sciences or a related field.

🎯 Minimum 2+ years of relevant HR Generalist or HR Operations experience.

🎯 Strong understanding of end-to-end HR processes.

🎯 Practical knowledge of attendance, leave and payroll coordination.

🎯 Working knowledge of HRMS and MS Excel.

🎯 Basic understanding of labour regulations and statutory HR compliance.

🎯 Strong interpersonal and employee-handling abilities.

🎯 Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

🎯 Ability to maintain confidentiality when dealing with sensitive employee matters.

🎯 Strong organisation, coordination, problem-solving and decision-making skills.

🎯 Ability to work independently and take ownership of centre-level HR responsibilities.

🎯 Malayalam proficiency is essential, with English required for official communication.

🌟Preferred Skills:
✅ MBA, PGDM or MSW in HR.

✅ Experience independently managing HR operations for a branch or centre.

✅ Background in healthcare, hospitals, NGOs or similar service-oriented organisations.

✅ Practical exposure to HRMS, HR reporting and employee documentation.

✅ Confidence in handling employee relations and workplace concerns.

🔥Career Insight:
The real value of an HR professional isn’t measured by how many forms they process.

It’s measured by how effectively they connect people, processes and purpose.

If you want to grow beyond recruitment coordination and build genuine HR operations experience, a centre-level role like this can teach you something a textbook can’t: how people systems actually work when you’re responsible for making them work.
