Overview
Responding to Complaints Training
Managers play a key role in responding to employee concerns and complaints. If employee complaints are handled poorly, it can have serious consequences for organizations and result in legal missteps.
As part of an effective ethics and compliance program, training managers on what to do and what not to do when they receive a complaint helps to set employee expectations and enable organizations to promptly resolve problems and avoid costly mistakes that undermine a positive, speak-up culture.
What is a complaint?
A complaint is a problem, concern, or question that employees want to bring attention to, either by telling their manager or another supervisor or by reporting it through a hotline or other process. Information made in a complaint doesn’t have to be firsthand — it can be something that an employee heard or learned about from others. Whether a complaint comes from an employee or manager, organizations are obligated to investigate the situation and determine if there has been a violation of a company policy or law.
