Narmeen Dastgeer

I am an experienced and results-driven HR professional with over 9 years of expertise in managing comprehensive human resource functions within a UK-based SAAS software house. Currently serving as the HR Manager at Soft Steer SMC Pvt Ltd, I specialize in aligning HR strategies with organizational goals to drive performance, enhance employee experience, and build a high-performing workplace culture.

My core strengths include end-to-end recruitment, employee engagement, HR operations, policy development, and performance management. I have successfully led the full recruitment lifecycle, including technical role hiring, interview coordination, onboarding, and orientation. I ensure job descriptions and job specifications are regularly updated to match evolving business needs, and I coordinate performance evaluations aligned with these roles.

I have developed, updated, and enforced company-wide HR policies, employee handbooks, and organizational hierarchies, ensuring compliance with internal standards and labor laws. I manage employee grievances and provide timely resolutions while guiding disciplinary procedures professionally when required. My advisory role to management includes analyzing employee-related data, identifying trends, and offering strategic HR counsel.

Employee engagement and organizational development are at the heart of my HR philosophy. I’ve planned and executed several in-house and large-scale corporate events in Islamabad and Lahore, reinforcing a collaborative and inclusive workplace. I also lead training and development initiatives to boost productivity, morale, and retention.

Operationally, I handle payroll and benefits management, maintain employee records, oversee procurement, and ensure office discipline. I play a hands-on role in managing HR documentation and communication, maintaining timely follow-ups, and keeping departments aligned and informed.

Additionally, I support cross-functional teams by helping prioritize product and service features, contributing to business efficiency beyond traditional HR boundaries.

What sets me apart is my ability to balance strategic planning with practical implementation. I’m passionate about creating transparent, employee-first environments where people feel valued and empowered. I continuously seek to improve processes, elevate company culture, and contribute to sustainable organizational growth.

I am now looking to connect with dynamic organizations where I can bring my expertise, continue to grow professionally, and contribute meaningfully to the company’s mission and people strategy.
