Wellbeing Survey - Quarterly in BambooHR
This survey poses rotating questions within the following categories: happiness, personal motivators, company motivators and relationships.

Gemba Meetings - Bi-Weekly Meetings
These meetings are a great time to bring up fixing what bugs you in your day-to-day processes and collaborate on a solution. To ensure meetings stay on track, please note that these meetings are not for discussing company policy or voicing personal complaints.

Anonymous Feedback - Anytime on the Team Site Footer
This is where you can give a suggestion, ask a question, voice a complaint or provide a compliment. All feedback is anonymous! (Unless you enter your name)

Check-Ins - Bi-Weekly or Monthly depending on role
These check-in meetings are meant to help your leader get a pulse for how you and your department are doing. If you ever have an organizational concern, your check-in is an appropriate time to discuss this with your leader.

Conflict Resolution

If you are ever uncomfortable, please don't wait to speak up.
The MOST important thing is that you feel safe. 

Handshake

With a leader

ER2 Icons-tm-voice-icons-2-131.png
  1. Approach your leader directly with your concern; don’t wait.

  2. If you absolutely don't feel comfortable doing this face-to-face, share your thoughts in an email, but understand that your leader will discuss with you in person afterward.

  3. If you need support in the process, schedule a time to chat with HR.

  4. If you feel you absolutely need support in the process: schedule a time to chat with HR

  5. HR will then schedule a mediation with you and your leader

  6. If you don’t want to talk to HR either, or if you tried that and didn’t like the outcome, schedule a time with Chris Ko

With a peer

ER2 Icons-tm-voice-icons-2-132.png
  1. As long as there is no potential for aggression, please try approaching the team member yourself first.

  2. Explain what's bothering you and your ideas for mutual resolution.

  3. If you feel that you’ve been the target of harassment, explain to the person that their behavior is unacceptable and ask them to stop.

  4. No resolution - Involve your leader and determine a plan together.

  5. Still no resolution and/or escalation is necessary due to severity of behavior - Contact HR.

When to contact hr

Whether you personally experience any of the following or witness the behavior below, please don’t wait to report what happened to HR. Even if you aren't sure if you should report it, send your leader and HR (HR@er2.com) an email explaining your experience. It's always better to have a record of what's occurred in case the situation escalates.

Feedback Tips

Tips for giving & receiving feedback

Tips for Giving Feedback
Don't use generalities like "you never..." or "you always..." 
This is because they often exaggerate your point and cause the listener to become defensive. Instead use less volatile wording like, "At times I've noticed you miss some steps when testing a laptop,... or "Occasionally, you are leaving your lunch trash behind..."

 
Critique the behavior not the person
By focusing on the behavior you avoid making personal attacks. We all can change our behaviors but attacking someone's personhood is unproductive and unprofessional.

 
Don't give your interpretation just the behavior
Don't say, 'I noticed you don't clean up the table after you eat lunch because you don't care about anyone else." You don't know their motivation so don't comment on that. Instead focus on the behavior you would like to be different.

Provide examples
Provide examples to the team member of their behavior that is causing you concern. Referencing specific instances will help them understand better what you are talking about so that change can occur.
