It's important to remember that when raising a complaint to your employer, it's important to do it in a professional and respectful manner, this is to show a sense of benevolence and intellectuality. To table a complaint to your employer professionally, follow these steps:

1. Prepare a clear and concise statement of the issue, including any relevant facts and dates.

2. Set up a meeting with your supervisor or HR representative to discuss the complaint. Make sure to choose a time and location that is convenient for both parties.

3. During the meeting, remain calm and professional, and present your complaint in a non-confrontational manner. Avoid using accusatory language or making personal attacks.

4. Provide specific examples to support your complaint and be open to discussion and feedback.

5. If possible, suggest potential solutions to the problem and be willing to work with your employer to find a resolution.

6. Follow up with your supervisor or HR representative after the meeting to ensure that your complaint is being addressed and to check on the status of any actions taken.

7. BE SPECIFIC: When describing the issue, be specific and provide specific examples of what has happened. This will make it easier for your employer to understand the problem and take appropriate action.

8. REMAIN CALM: It's important to remain calm and composed, even if you're feeling frustrated or upset. Losing your temper or getting emotional can make it more difficult for your employer to take your complaint seriously.

9. BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK: Remember that your employer may have a different perspective on the situation and may suggest solutions that you hadn't considered. Be open to feedback and willing to compromise.

10. BE PREPARED FOR THE OUTCOME: Be prepared for the outcome of your complaint, whether it be positive or negative. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, understand your next step, whether it's escalating the complaint or seeking alternative means of resolution.

11. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, consider escalating it to a higher level of management or following the company's established complaint procedures.

At times due to anger and arrogance and employee can totally table complaints to his or her employer or manager in such a way that may cost him or her his or her job. You must understand that your employer or manager is not perfect however he or she may not be able to understand a whole lot of things about the business organisation and some of the times the manager may totally be different from the owner of the business. As an employee it is expected for you to carry out actions and decisions professionally and when it comes to the time of laying complaint to your employers as well as your superiors you must endeavour to do it professionally.

In order to professionally table complaint to your employer it is expected to do it via writing, but in a case where such complaint is urgent it is expected for you to maintain a calm and non-argumentative tone of voice when interacting or communicating with your employer or manager the reason or cause for your complaint.

Not every business environment is considered to be perfect however as an employee some things within and outside the business environment may totally irritate and disturb your ability to perform your duties as well as your roles perfectly. For example if you are being threatened by another employee through sexual harassment or any other form of harassment you can't able such matter to your employer or to your manager for quick action. Employers definitely love it when an employee stands up to question them possibly on a particular matter that is considered to be negative and can totally affect the growth and development of a particular business and the possibility for such a business to be successful and prosperous.

As a manager or employer when complaints are being tabled to you by your employees or work is it is expected for you to take quick action and do not let ignorance make you to bypass or to look over such issue because sometimes such issue could be the rising business problem which if neglected could lead to an unsolvable issue.
