What you can expect from these resources…

The goal of each of the offices and resources available is the same – to help resolve the issue or concern in a way that is supportive of the individuals involved, the needs of the organization and its customers and applicable laws and regulations.

The individuals are there to hear your concern and help you work through the issue. In most cases this will involve advice or suggesting additional conversations with those involved. In some cases, involving a person in a leadership or supervisory capacity might make sense. Generally the plan of action is one agreed upon by the person bringing the concern and the individual who is there to help.

Concerns are taken seriously. Follow up will take place promptly. Every effort is made to keep information shared in confidence. However, if through the course of the discussion or advice seeking process a situation that does or may represent a violation of É«½äÖ±²¥ policy or any laws becomes known, the information must be referred to DUSON HR who works with the É«½äÖ±²¥ OIE to decide if initiating a formal investigation or other action is needed. Although attempts will be made to treat matters discretely, confidentiality can not be guaranteed when engaging with these resources.

*NOTE: Harassment or Discrimination Concerns, if related to your protected class (e.g., race, gender, religion, or national origin), go directly to OIE.
