I need ideas for handling the grievances of people which do not come in written form. There are many complaints regarding behavioral issues of a department head, however, the juniors only complain verbally.

It is a strange case. No one will give you in writing , Your first weapon should be " ask them in writing with signature and date"
then half of complaints will comedown. Even , if you entertain complaints verbally , they will not stand by next hour as we see in many cases. You should deal with them tactfully , it requires a bit of patience .
Hope you understand the situation and act.

Dear Swati,
Draft a policy on grievance handling get it approval from Top management & communicate to all workers/staff/managers.
In the complaint form,you have to fill on behalf of employee or help them and get them singnature,there should be policy that no one disclosed the name of the complainent except few top managers know the his/her name.
You should put suggestion box/arrange complaint register where they can drop their complaint and after every 15 days ,the drop box to be opened by the authorised person then get enquiry on this,monitor the issues,call to the complainant & ask the incident/issue on details then analyse & take appropriate action.

Hi,
1. Grievances whether verbal or written are feedbacks. They are equally important and should be encouraged. Also should be addressed in time before it becomes unsurmountable. Since the employee has approached you, make your impartial assessment about the matter. Take input from other sources. Arrive at a decision whether to counsel or leave it being trivial.
2. Culturally matured organisations mostly uses verbal method of grievance handling. Open door policy of some Top Management is the result of this approach.
Take care.

Dear All,
In the current world scenario dont expect everything in writing. Certain things need to be discussed verbally and actioned. Tunar has clearly and correctly written.
