We are a medium sized business with 100 staff members. I am the owner/CEO with a basic HR department trying to learn industry best practices.
We have 2 senior Division Heads managing their teams of 40 people each. The HR department is common.
Question : When there is a disciplinary issue with a staff member what is the HR role supposed to be?
A. Remind the employee of company policy with a polite warning
OR
B. Inform the Division Head/Manager of the violation so that he can speak to his team member.
Eventually HR will get involved if Division Head recommends some action, but question is who will speak to the employee first - HR or their Manager?
