Open Door Policy
There may be times when you have a problem, question or complaint. Management needs and wants to be aware of these issues. Our Open Door Policy is an affirmation of our belief that people are entitled to
receive answers to their concerns from their immediate supervisor/ manager and they have the right to take questions further if they believe they have not received proper consideration.
The Open Door Policy consists of these general guidelines:
- You should consult with your own supervisor/manager whenever you
need help, information or advice. He or she works with you every day
and should be in the best position to answer your questions fairly and
promptly.
- If you wish to discuss the matter further, you may want to take the
subject up with progressively higher levels of management or, if you
prefer, discuss the matter with a human resources/organizational
advancement representative.
