Hi, Do you mean a one to one session with sales employees? Or otherwise, HR just need to send a schedule with a valid reason for a one on one. I guess thats enough. Regards Kalpana

Thank you, Kalpana, for your reply.
If I receive negative feedback about a "sales manager" from their junior and need to verify the same by conducting one-on-one sessions with others, is it mandatory to share the reason for the one-on-one session with the sales managers or sales head?

You need to involve the sales head since the manager concerned is part of his department. You can either meet up with the sales head and tell him the facts and the need to do a one-on-one, or you could tell the sales head to join you in the meeting with the concerned salesperson. If I were you, I would tell the sales head to join me in the meeting. This will help ensure his buy-in for any decision that needs to be taken post the meeting, since he is part of the deliberations.

Please hear the other side also. Do not be judgmental without talking to the concerned in line with Principles of Natural justice. You have to hear his version also from the perspective of Employer (Sales Manager). You should act as a facilitator to resolve the grievance impartially.

Dear Santu,
What is the motive/purpose behind this exercise? Is it routine and customary to have independent one-to-one with the sales team without the knowledge or involvement of the sales head? If there is no such precedent, take it very cautiously. After all, they are also part of your stream unless HR wishes to take stock of the sales situation to establish or rule out some agenda behind this.
In any case, what if you go ahead without the involvement of the sales head and you end up with all sorts of negative feedback about sales? Are you going to revamp the team? How many of them? What is the mandate, and who gave this to you? What level are you in the hierarchy? My hunch is the entire sales team is going to be loyal to the head except a few disgruntled bunch. You have to be clear before taking the next step with a plan-A while being ready with plan-B as well.
