Hi Belinda,
I don't have a
HR budget I can show you - maybe some others can offer some help in that regard.
I do however have a few suggestions or maybe just some food for thought.
Firstly, is your first appraisal the appropriate time to raise the
HR budget? (that obviously has to be your call).
As for the budget, every company's budget will be different and it sounds like you probably need to focus on the fundamentals given your employer hasn't had a
HR function until you joined them. The budget of an established
HR function would be very different to that of a brand new
HR dept.
Also, bear in mind the company has already recently increased it's costs by establishing an
HR function, so I would tread carefully at this point in time when asking for additional funding. I'm not saying don't do it, but you should justify it in terms of ROI (return on investment). How does your employer benefit from spending more on
HR?
What sort of things do you want to budget for?
Regards,
Kevin
