PhrasesAsking for a RaiseVorrei coinvolgere le Risorse Umane in questa conversazione.
B2formal

Vorrei coinvolgere le Risorse Umane in questa conversazione.

I would like to involve Human Resources in this conversation.

Pronunciation

'Coinvolgere' = co-in-VOL-je-re; the 'g' before 'e' is soft, like 'j' in 'journey'.

When to use it

Use if your direct manager is not empowered to approve raises and HR needs to be included, or if you want a more formal process.

What it means

In Italian companies, salary decisions are often made by HR ('Risorse Umane') in coordination with the direct manager. Asking to involve HR formalises the process and ensures your request is on the official record, rather than dependent on your manager's memory or goodwill.

Variations

Posso presentare la mia richiesta direttamente all'ufficio HR?

Can I present my request directly to the HR office?

More assertive; go directly if manager is an obstacle

Esiste una procedura formale per richiedere una revisione salariale?

Is there a formal procedure for requesting a salary review?

Asks about process; useful in large corporates

Preferirei che questa discussione fosse documentata dall'HR.

I would prefer this discussion to be documented by HR.

Insists on formal documentation; creates accountability

Mini Dialogue

«Capisco che lei debba riportare questa decisione a qualcuno. Vorrei che coinvolgessimo le Risorse Umane, in modo da avere un processo strutturato e una risposta ufficiale in tempi ragionevoli. È possibile organizzare un incontro a tre?»

"I understand you need to report this decision to someone. I would like us to involve Human Resources, so that we have a structured process and an official response within a reasonable timeframe. Is it possible to organise a three-way meeting?"

Cultural Note

In medium and large Italian companies, HR plays a significant gatekeeping role. In smaller companies, the owner ('titolare') or a family member often makes final decisions on salaries, sometimes bypassing HR entirely.
