Nonprofits 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.
Personality Conflict:
In "Joe’s" company, the nurses have their own email group. Most of the members are female.
The women sent explicitly detailed emails about different men they had dated. Joe thought
this was inappropriate. One female sent an email joking about male erectile dysfunction.
Joe responded, to the entire group, that he found their conversations inappropriate for a
professional email group and included a comment, which was derogatory to women. The next day
he was called into his supervisor's office. The supervisor told him that his email was inappropriate
and that he was breaking down the "family atmosphere" among the nurses.
After an investigation, it was found that the emails were in violation of the hospital’s email policy.
Joe's supervisor was disciplined for allowing the inappropriate behavior and the company agreed
to monitor the content of emails more closely.
Employee Benefits:
"Terry" had perfect attendance last year, but was refused the perfect attendance bonus. The
supervisor explained that Terry had several write-ups and the bonus was only for those who show
up and do their jobs.
Because company policy promised to pay the bonus for attendance only and not for attendance and
performance, JustUs® recommended that Terry be paid.
In both of these instances, failing to properly or adequately address the problem may have
left the involved employees unhappy and unproductive. Without clear answers, they may have
considered taking some action that could have exposed the company 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.
