Government Sample Issue Resolution

The following is a hypothetical designed to demonstrate the JustUs® process; any reference to real life names and events is purely coincidental.

Discrimination:

"Jill" has been with the city for two years and there had been no problems in the beginning. She had good performance reviews and earned every merit pay increase available in her position. She began experiencing problems after she brought her spouse to the company picnic. Jill is white, while her spouse is black. Since that time, she has been reprimanded for insignificant issues and for things she claims are the fault of other workers. Now, she has been denied a merit pay increase because of these incidents.

An investigation revealed this supervisor was in fact treating her different from other employees and holding her to more strict requirements. JustUs® recommended Jill be given the merit pay increase and the supervisor be sent to diversity training.


In this instance, failing to properly or adequately address the problem may have left the involved employee feeling unhappy and unproductive. Without clear answers, she may have considered taking some action that could have exposed the city to the risk of bad publicity or litigation, whether merited or not. By having JustUs® the issues were able to be addressed in a timely, cost-effective manner that ultimately improved the organization’s bottom line.
