Open door and shared values

The purpose of this policy is to establish a process to address workplace issues that an employee believes should be addressed by Lynn University management.

From time to time issues may arise that need to be addressed by Lynn University management. Experience has shown that when employees feel they can speak openly and directly with management, the work environment can be exceptional, communication enhanced, and morale positive. Lynn University has demonstrated and will continue to demonstrate our commitment to employees by responding effectively to employee questions and issues. The university believes that open and honest communication is best for all employees, and encourages employees to express their needs, opinions, and suggestions to Lynn University.

Not applicable.

When employees have a question or concern, the university asks that they communicate directly with their supervisor. Employees are encouraged to talk first with their immediate supervisor, who is often the individual most familiar with the employee and their job and best suited to assist. If the supervisor cannot help resolve the matter or the employee feels uncomfortable approaching their supervisor, then they are encouraged to speak with their department head or someone in Employee Services.

Lynn University is interested in all of its employees' success and wellbeing and welcomes the opportunity to help employees whenever feasible.

Note - employees who believe they have experienced discrimination should refer to Lynn's employee non-discrimination and anti-harassment policy for guidance.
