Statement :

Dad, I need to talk to you about something that's been bothering me.

One of our servers chain has been treated unfairly by some of the other employees.

What do you mean? Well, some of the cooks have been making fun of her accent and calling her names.

It's really not fair to her and I don't want her to feel

uncomfortable working here.

That's not acceptable. We have a O tolerance policy for

discrimination here at Nina's

Kitchen.

We need to investigate this and make sure it doesn't happen again.

I agree. And I also wanted to talk to you

about some of the health and safety challenges we've been facing. The kitchen gets really hot, and we've had a few employees pass out from heat exhaustion. That's not good. We need to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable while they're working.

Let's look into installing some fans or air conditioning to keep the kitchen cooler.

That's a great idea. We also need to make sure we're following all the regulations for occupational Health and Safety.

We don't want to get fined or have anyone get hurt, Absolutely. I'll make sure to review all the legislation and regulations with our HR team to make sure we're in

compliance. And while we re at it, let's also review our policies and

procedures for harassment and discrimination. We need to make sure all of our employees are aware of them and know that they can't come to us if they experience any issues.

Good point. We want everyone to feel safe and respected while they're working here.

We'll make sure to prioritize this and address any issues as soon as they come up.
