Do I log a complaint

Posted by RuthTurner on Tue, 09/02/2010 - 13:10

I currently work as a Senior HR Admin in my company for 3 years. The department has now been restructured and a position of HR Assistant has now been created which I have applied for as it is slighly more senior and will give me more of an inslight to ER etc which is what I have been pushing for since I started.

I was interviewed etc along with a few external applicants and I have now been told  that I have not been sucessful and they have chosen somebody with more knowledge which I understand. The probelm I have is that they could not give any reasons as to why they did not consider my length of service or my track record etc or even how I would gain the knowledge needed to be able to apply in the future. There have been many other positions in the business that internal people apply for and they all get the job. A few things have happened over the past few months and I am starting to think that they are trying things to push me into leaving.

I am now doing 3 peoples jobs with no support from anybody and when I spoke to the manager I was struggling he told me to work harder.

I was promised that they business would sponsor me for my PDS but the start date for that has come and gone and im still waiting for him to give me a straight answer as to why they changed their mind but other people in the department have had courses and qualifications paid for with no issue.

Should I raise a grievence? Any advise would be a great help to me.

Editor's Note - May 10

Had a busy week with two days at the Responsible Business Summit in London. What struck me was the appetite for sustainability in the corporate world. I spoke to senior figures from multinationals who knew wholeheartedly that businesses in the future would not succeed if the society around them failed.

Much of this appetite was understandably focused on collaboration - the future of sustainability. Words that were previously indicative of success - power, might, scale, size - are no longer enough in the open source, peer-reviewed future where opponents will not simply grumble and moan and then leave you in peace. Companies must work with governments, NGOs, charities and social enterprises as a matter of course. And even competitors, where necessary.

Facilitating this collaboration is the big challenge of the next five years. Highly-strung and ego-centric companies, feverish with the need to protect their brand, will struggle the most, but it's either adapt or die.

The business/charity relationship is one of the most interesting focal points. Business power can drive positive social change in so many ways but charities are the key holders to communities. As businesses are expected more and more to play a stake in the future, charity partnerships should be top of the corporate priority list. Businesses that don't work closely with a charity will find themselves with reputational problems.

There's a lot more to CSR, of course, but collaboration is the bedding on which CSR will rest. Businesses can no longer find the answers to all their problems in their own resources and assets.

And for many that's a scary thought.
