This step is intended to achieve a swift and amicable resolution. + +**Step 2: Submitting Grievance VIA Email** + +If the employee is not satisfied with the result of the informal resolution or is hesitant to approach their immediate manager, they can escalate the matter by sending a formal grievance via email to the People Ops Manager. The email should comprehensively outline the problem, include pertinent details, and provide any available evidence that support the grievance. + +**Step 3: Investigation** + +Upon receipt of a formal grievance, the People Ops Manager will initiate an unbiased investigation. This might entail conversations with the concerned employee, pertinent witnesses, and a review of relevant documentation. + +**Step 4: Resolution** + +After the investigation, the People Ops Manager will focus on finding a fitting solution. This might include making things right, changing policies, or taking other steps to address the concern. FlowFuse aims to provide a solution within 10 days from when the employee submits their first formal grievance. Please be aware that sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can cause delays in the investigation.
