Can HR Take Action Against CEO?

I keep seeing lot of posts on HR as the authority to take action or HR as the authority to recruit people and authirty to promote people.This posting on taking action on CEO is also one such post where HR Manager believe that they are the ultimate authrity in an organisation.Please remeber thar HR Professionals in an organisation are facilaitators for other executives to manage HR Processes. His role is to advise rather than decide. Yes .... there will be certain decisions he needs to make if the process defines so.I read a post where the member has rightly described this attitude as autocratic.

What is the policy the CEO has deviated? Can that be brfiefed here for a fruitful discussion? Based on the same members can express views as to what the HR Manager needs to do. Many people beilieve that the policies we know are applicable to CEOs as well. Based on this misunderstanding we judge people assuming that we are the saviours of HR Policy in the company.

Please introspect your role...do I decide? do I advise? as HR Manager in the company.

What should I do more to facilitate HR Process in the Company?

Thanks

Dear Srinivasan,
Even the Head-Hr will report to CEO, CEO is the first man in any organization..Just think can anyone who reports you, will take action on you?? What will he do actually?? will he suspend you? terminate you?? He can do nothing.. only you can suggest or advice if CEO violates any rule.thats it..
Reall..appreciate your thougt of pointing a CEO but take care.All the best.

CEO must be a member of the Board of Directors & his appointment letter is issued by the Directors and CEO can ask for any explanation from the HR manager in relation to Company's work whereas the HR manager has no such authority. In the company hierarchy he is much below the CEO. How can the HR manager dream of taking action against the CEO, This is an utopian thought.

Hi
HR if find some default in CEO, he got to put up his report to the Managing Director and if the Managing Director feel satisfied with the report so submitted, can discuss in the board of director's meeting and take appropriate action against CEO.
HR at any cost got no right to take action against CEO.
If we are sincere to our job, finding are strong, not to fear any one.
