Americans are nearly twice as likely to speak to a friend or colleague than their organization's HR department if they have an issue at work, according to the latest Ouch Point® survey from Opinion Research Corporation, an infoGROUP company. Though 66 percent would opt to speak to their manager about an issue, 39 percent prefer to turn to friends and only 22 percent would go to their HR department for help. Respondents over the age of 65, with more experience in the workplace (17%) were found less likely to approach HR than younger respondents between the ages of 18 and 24 (32%).

One of the survey's more surprising findings is that over one quarter of respondents (26%) expressed doubt about the ability of their HR team to keep personal details confidential. Older respondents between the ages of 55 and 64 were significantly less confident about the discretion of HR (33%) than those between the ages of 18 and 24 (22%).

"Our research demonstrates the need to improve the quality of the relationship between employees and the HR department," said Vicki Wheatley, Vice President, ORC Employee Engagement Practice (US). "The critical role HR plays within an organization should not be underestimated, as the success of any enterprise depends significantly on the extent to which its workforce is engaged with and dedicated to its mission."
