We're looking at the relationship HR has in the workplace with other departments. For any business to function like the well-oiled machine it wants to be, its various departments have to operate as one, blissfully harmonious co-joined, gelatinous organism.
Sadly, staffing your organisation with humans rather than amoebas means that this is rarely the case. Peoples’ instinctive nature is to protect their sphere of influence, their professional image and their standing within the company. This inevitably leads to friction, however small, between departments.
What we want is details of these frictions where they appear between the finance and HR departments. What are the things that your finance team does that really wind you up? How do you deal with them? What are the things you really don’t want the Finance Director to know about, and how, given all this aggro-generating rubbing and wriggling, do you manage to generally come together like something out of the A-Team?
If you don't want to post publicly, we'd still like to hear from you, so feel free to email editor@hrzone.co.uk.
