It depends, HR doesn't exist to solve problems or mitigate tension at work. Those are things they happen to do. HR exists for exactly one purpose, and that is to save the company money, and their conflict mitigation duties are there for the sole purpose of ensuring that the company doesn't incur legal penalties. HR can be very destructive to a woman's career if they determine that the basis of the woman's complaint doesn't meet a standard of inappropriate behavior by the person or department who's been accused of wrongdoing. If I were a woman, seeing what I've seen over the years, I'd be damn hesitant to complain anything to HR.
