I am an HR in a software company and i have just joined the company. How can i make an impact on my managers and make them realize that i am important to the company?

You can introduce some innovative policies like some award functions to recognize the employee who has outperformed others. Games can be a better option where the employees have some leisure between their hectic schedule.

If you are willing to spend some money you can buy them some gifts. Altenatively, you can also pick-up some of the best policies implemented by them and publish an article in trade journals .. of course giving due credit to your team. All these will not only make them feel comfortable regarding their job, but also motivate them to perform better. You can also opt for awards to recognize the policies. One such award that recognizes the work done by the company is the SAIL HR awards. Just register your company to win the award at sailhrawards.com

I do not agree with this idea. What will an award earn you? Recognition for sometime? What is next then? Will that award be life long with you?

Arun is saying right.

You do your best with keep in mind in progress of company or do your best performance. This is way that you will get attention in your manager's eyes amongst others.

Best Of Luck...
