Open Door Policy

Simmermonz Open Door Policy

Purpose

At Simmermonz, we believe open and honest communication is essential to maintaining a positive, respectful, and successful workplace. Our Open Door Policy encourages all employees to share their ideas, concerns, or feedback directly with management — without fear of retaliation or judgment.

We want every team member to feel heard, valued, and supported. Your voice helps us grow stronger together.

1. Policy Overview

• Employees at all levels are encouraged to communicate openly with supervisors, managers, and leadership about any workplace issue, concern, or suggestion.
• This includes topics such as working conditions, interpersonal conflicts, safety concerns, scheduling, ideas for improvement, or company policies.
• Simmermonz management is committed to listening respectfully, addressing issues fairly, and following up promptly.

2. How to Use the Open Door Policy

1. Start with Your Direct Supervisor:
   Most concerns can be resolved quickly by speaking directly with your immediate supervisor.
2. If Unresolved or Sensitive:
   If the issue involves your supervisor or is not resolved, you may bring it to a higher-level manager or Human Resources.
3. Confidentiality:
   When possible, discussions will be handled confidentially. Information will only be shared with those who need to know in order to resolve the matter.

3. No Retaliation

Simmermonz strictly prohibits retaliation of any kind against employees who raise concerns, ask questions, or report issues in good faith.

Employees who engage in retaliatory behavior will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

4. Management Responsibilities

• Listen carefully and respectfully to all concerns.
• Maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent possible.
• Take all issues seriously and address them promptly.
• Foster an environment of trust, respect, and fairness.

5. Employee Responsibilities

• Communicate concerns honestly, respectfully, and in good faith.
• Allow management reasonable time to review and respond to issues.
• Work collaboratively toward positive resolutions.

6. Our Commitment

At Simmermonz, we believe that strong communication builds strong teams. Every employee — from new hires to senior leadership — has the right to be heard and the responsibility to contribute to a culture of openness and respect.

Together, we keep the doors — and the dialogue — open.
