Optional Informal Discussion. An employee is encouraged to discuss a workplace concern with their supervisor. The Open-Door Concept is for an employee and a supervisor to discuss workplace concerns together. The Open-Door Concept is an informal way of resolving problems early, preserving working relationships, and promoting a productive work environment for all employees. To facilitate open communication and promptly resolve issues, employees are encouraged to bring any work-related questions or concerns to the Employer's attention. The Employer welcomes such discussions because it allows the Employer to maintain a productive and harmonious atmosphere. Employees will not be subject to any adverse employment actions for raising good-faith concerns. Although an employee may contact any supervisor to discuss a problem or concern, the Employer recommends that employees resolve the situation first with their immediate supervisor. That person is generally in the best position to evaluate the situation and provide an appropriate solution. Suppose an employee is not satisfied with their supervisor’s decision, or the employee is uncomfortable discussing the issue with their immediate supervisor. In that case, the employee may go to the person that the immediate supervisor reports to. The employee may voice all such concerns verbally. The Employer will have fifteen (15) calendar days to respond to any issue raised through the Open-Door policy.
