“The agency has had a conflict of interest policy in place since 2000. The board members and key executive are required to disclose annually any relationships that may give rise to a conflict. Executive director monitors compliance with the policy and communicates with the executive committee whenever any situation arises regarding a potential conflict of interest. If there is a potential conflict of interest involving a board member, the issue is discussed with the board and the specific member is excluded from any decision-making relative to the issue in conflict.”

“Community living does not have a whistle blower policy in place, however they have adopted grievance and problem resolution procedures. This policy encourages employees to seek resolution of any personal or job-related problem that they think may adversely affect their performance or future at community living, inc. The problem resolution process provides this opportunity to identify and resolve conflicts related to position descriptions, performance appraisal, or job-related situations. The goal of the problem resolution process is to fairly and objectively resolve employee problems. The following steps should be taken to resolve these conflicts: 1. Discuss any and all complaints concerning employment directly with their immediate supervisor. 2. If for any reason the employee remains dissatisfied, he/she may request further review of the matter with the executive director of community living, inc. In the event an employee feels that the personnel policies and practices have been incorrectly interpreted or improperly applied, a review by the board of directors may be requested in writing.”
