Every employee receives and agrees in writing to a summary of the dispute plan. The Plan outlines how each employee/employer dispute will be handled.
Asking management to resolve an employee dispute is like trying to be your own marriage counselor. Management is just too involved in the situation to resolve the problem effectively. The PeaceKeeper Systems telephone number is given to every employee, as well as to each member of the management team. When a dispute occurs, every effort is made to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. Parties are walked through a series of steps designed to resolve the dispute in an amicable manner. Management can call when a problem or potential problem arises. And when an employee wants to sue and doesn’t want to discuss the issue with management, PeaceKeeper Systems is there.
The issue is not whether you think you have an employee problem, but whether your employee believes there to be a problem. Regular, insightful surveys of each employee uncover hidden employment and safety issues and provide an opportunity to resolve problems before they errupt into employment litigation. This continous process also builds an evidentiary record demonstrating that management cares and is concerned about employee problems. By giving employees regular opportunities to air grievances and concerns and by creating a safe arena in which to do so, management can remove any excuses for an employee’s having to deal with illegal harrasment or other harmful activity which might result in a litigious, volatile situation in the workplace.
PeaceKeeper Systems is not just an arbitration plan. The best one can hope for with an arbitration plan is just that: arbitration. You still have legal fees, lost productivity, and ruined relationships. If a dispute gets to arbitration, it should be considered a failure rather than a success. An arbitrator can award just as much money as a jury. Employees and management can call PeaceKeeper Systems about an issue at any time. PeaceKeeper Systems utilizes experts to handle the complaint from the beginning. It does not provide legal advice, or represent the company or the employee, but is a business solution using neutral third-parties dedicated to resolving the dispute.
