Thanal

Thanal is a social development organisation working in rehabilitation, health, education, welfare, and mental health. It functions under Daya Rehabilitation Trust, registered under the Indian Trusts Act. Founded in 2008 in Vadakara by a group of local community members and professionals, Thanal today operates from its headquarters in Malaparamba, Kozhikode, with centres across Kerala and programme engagements in 21 Indian states. The organisation is sustained by around 20,000 professionals and volunteers, and works on the principle of reaching the most marginalised and at-risk groups, focusing on holistic rehabilitation rather than relief alone.

Role

• Answer employee questions, handle grievances professionally, and escalate matters when they need a decision above you.
• Support management on disciplinary matters, warnings and performance concerns in line with organisational policy.
• Maintain confidential personnel files and issue appointment, confirmation, transfer, warning and relieving letters on time.
• Coordinate with the central HR team on PF, ESI, professional tax and other statutory requirements, and keep the records an audit will ask for.
• Run employee engagement activities, induction, orientation and awareness programmes, and prepare HR reports and MIS on staffing, attendance, attrition, recruitment and leave for the Centre Head and the HR Department.
