> It’s unclear to me how HR is any different from the CEO here. If any employee at my company experienced sexual harassment I would expect them to come to me, and said Director would be out the door within minutes. No need for HR there. If anything they’re just another hoop the victim has to jump through.
I agree with this - if a CEO tolerates bad behavior (such as sexual harassment) in their company, having an HR department or not will make little difference.
- ojnabieoot 6y agoThis is true (Ubisoft is an extremely good example - there, HR exists to protect the cabal of creeps who run the company). But if a CEO does not tolerate bad behavior, HR is an indispensable tool for protecting workers from unscrupulous managers and colleagues, and for allowing safe whistleblowers. It is ridiculous (and, frankly, suspicious) to suggest the CEO can handle it by themselves.
