BigCo encourages you to discuss any issue you may have with a co-worker directly with that person. If a resolution is not reached, please arrange a meeting with your supervisor or manager to discuss any concern, problem, or issue that arises during the course of your employment. Any information discussed in an Open Communication meeting is considered confidential. Retaliation against any employee for appropriate usage of Open Communication channels is unacceptable. Please remember it is counterproductive to a harmonious workplace for employees to create or repeat corporate rumors or office gossip. It is more constructive for an employee to consult his/her supervisor or manager immediately with any questions.
