Sadia FerdousHR Executive

I keep hiring moving and employee records straight — interview coordination, candidate screening, personnel files and HR reporting, done carefully enough that nobody has to check my work twice.

candidates coordinated for interview

employee files digitised and indexed

daily HR reports produced

member team attendance maintained

In short

HR work is mostly trust, and trust is built on records

I am finishing a BBA in Human Resource Management at Daffodil International University, with all coursework and both internships complete and only the final defence left.

My first internship was remote, at a studio where I tracked attendance for a 26-member team and wrote the daily HR reports management read every morning. My second was on-site at Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute & Hospital, where I called more than 150 candidates to arrange interviews, ran first-stage phone screening, and digitised over 300 employee files that had only ever existed on paper.

A hiring panel moves at the speed of whoever is organising the paperwork. I like being that person.

I keep candidate communication prompt and polite, I keep employee information confidential, and I would rather fix a record error before the monthly report than explain it afterwards.

I am looking for a full-time HR role in recruitment or HR operations, and I can start immediately.

The work, in numbers

What those internships actually produced

Every figure below comes from work that was completed and signed off — nothing is projected or rounded up.

Figure 1Where I sit in the hiring process

The panel makes the decision. Everything that has to happen before the panel can sit down is the part I own. Hover a stage to see what it involved.

stages I ran panel decision

150+ candidates were contacted individually to confirm availability, phone-screened, and written up in one standard summary format so the panel compared like with like.

Funnel widths show the sequence of stages, not a measured conversion rate between them.

Figure 2300+ employee files, moved off paper

Each mark is one employee file I scanned, labelled and indexed at Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute & Hospital. Scroll, and they convert.

paper record digitised & indexed 1 mark = 1 employee file

Before this, finding one employee's file meant walking to a cabinet. After it, the HR team could search. This is also the subject of my internship report on moving HR processes from paper to digital.

Figure 3Which skill was used where

Not a self-rating out of ten. A filled mark means I did that work in that place, and it is on my CV.

The pattern says what kind of HR person I am: strongest where recruitment coordination meets records and reporting, which is exactly the work an HR executive is handed first.

Compliance

The Labour (Amendment) Act 2026, and what it changes on Monday morning

The amendment took effect on 10 April 2026, following the 2025 Ordinance, and touches roughly ninety points of the Labour Act 2006. I studied it because an HR department that misses these dates gets found out at the next buyer audit. Here is the short version I work from.

01 · Coverage

Who counts as a worker

Coverage now follows the nature of the work rather than the job title, so classifications have to be checked against what people actually do. Managerial, administrative and supervisory roles stay outside the definition.

02 · Unions

Registration and dues

Union registration uses fixed member numbers scaled to the size of the establishment, with a cap of three registered unions per establishment. Dues deduction applies to all registered unions and must be deposited within fifteen days.

03 · Conduct

Anti-union practice

Blacklisting, employer-controlled unions and retaliation against complainants are covered. The Director General of Labour can order these stopped and award compensation without going through the Labour Court.

04 · Benefits

Leave and end of service

Maternity leave, festival holidays, lay-off eligibility, death compensation, dismissal and resignation benefits, the wage revision cycle and eviction notice periods all changed — which means payroll configuration, not just the policy document.

05 · Dignity

Harassment and safety

New prohibitions cover forced labour, gender-based violence and sexual harassment. Every establishment must form a five-member complaint committee chaired by a woman with a female majority; fifty or more workers also requires a safety committee, and workers may refuse dangerous work.

06 · Exposure

Penalties

Fines have risen substantially and imprisonment applies to more serious violations, including those causing injury or death. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Authority exists in law but is not operational yet, so disputes still go to the Labour Court.

First 30 days

Reclassify the workforce against actual duties
Constitute the complaint committee
Update leave configuration in the HR system, not only in the policy text

By 60 days

Recalculate end-of-service reserves
Put an audit trail on union dues deduction
Revise contract templates and the employee handbook
Establish or verify the safety committee

By 90 days

Train line managers on retaliation, interference and blacklisting
Build a grievance route people will actually use
Prepare the file for buyer and supplier audits

Summarised from a published HR briefing on the amendment (MiHCM, 2026). Implementing rules for the harassment framework are still pending, and figures and section references should be confirmed against the gazetted text before anyone acts on them.

Beyond the job description

Projects, research and training

Coursework I chose to take further than it needed to go.

2022 – 2026

Her world

What I carry home from work

People tell you to keep a CV neutral. But the way a person spends a quiet evening usually explains how they behave on a difficult Tuesday, so here is mine.

Old songs, mostly

The ones recorded long before I was born. There is a patience in them that newer music keeps trying to skip, and I think it shows up in how I listen to people on a phone screening.

The riverbank

My favourite place to think is wherever the water is wide and nobody is in a hurry. Most of what I have decided properly, I decided sitting beside a river first.

Growing things

Plants only reward people who show up regularly and notice small changes early. That is also the entire job description of HR operations, so I consider it practice.

Looking up

I take more photographs of the sky than of anything else. A good evening sky resets a long day faster than anything I have found, and it costs nothing.

Coffee, properly made

The first cup of the day is not negotiable, and I will happily take the long way to a good one. Most of my best filing systems were designed while a cup went cold beside me.

A very small guitar

I play the ukulele — badly enough to stay humble, well enough to keep going. Four strings turn out to be plenty when the point is the evening, not the performance.
