Internal Dispute Resolution. The Company and you value our working relationship, and we would prefer to address and resolve concerns through normal workplace channels before resorting to arbitration. Arbitration is intended to be a last resort. If you have a concern, you are encouraged to contact your manager or a human resources representative, or take advantage of any hotline or complaint initiation processes available to you. The Company will investigate, and should your concerns be substantiated, the Company will meet with you to discuss proposed resolutions. In this way, the Company’s goal is to offer a speedy, efficient, informal and inexpensive way to resolve your underlying concerns that may give rise to a Covered Claim. If you are dissatisfied with the investigation results, you may provide the Company with an arbitration demand for a Covered Claim as described in Section 7.
