Lodging a complaint against HR

How would you professionally go about dealing with or filing a complaint within a company when it involves the VP of the HR dept?  If it matters, the person filing the complaint is also a VP.

 

TIA  

Re: Lodging a complaint against HR

  • Forgot to mention that the issues have already been addressed directly with HR.
  • To whom does this person report? Why is it more complicated than just escalating to that person's boss?

    Depends on what the complaint is. 

    If it's trivial it will look bad.  If it is something that could otherwise be the basis of a winning civil lawsuit it shouldn't have too much of a negative effect.

  • I agree with KathyG.

  • The person reports to the president of the company who has been made aware of the problems by two different VPs.  I don't think the pres is intentionally ignoring dealing with it.  I just think he's really not grasping the whole picture.

     

  • I think that considering you are dealing with the top echelon here we can't generalize from a vague description. Unless it's some kind of civil liberties complaint (like harassment, discrimination, or denying due process, etc), it's office politics. In the first case, I would probably recommend a confidential discussion with the actual president, in the latter (like if these people are just being nasty to each other), that's something they need to work out between themselves.

    Also when you are dealing with things at this level...be prepared to go into it with thorough documentation of the problem. If you are just saying "VP so-and-so is showing discrimination in giving raises" well of course he might think that's just people being bitter. But if you go into it with documentation about the average raises people are getting broken up by gender, experience, department, whatever, you will get a better response because he can *see* the lawsuit potential. (That was just an example, I have no idea what your actual complaint is)
