Workplace complaints are handled in the following sequence and proceed to the next level only if resolution is not achieved:

• Consulting – An employee consults with a Respectful Workplace Coordinator or Advisor, and receives support and coaching.
• Informally – A Respectful Workplace Advisor mediates or facilitates resolution between the parties.
• Formally – A Review Officer conducts a formal investigation and reports findings to the Chief Human Resources Officer and the Vice-President of the respondent's operational unit. Complaints are elevated to a formal process only when the severity of the issue warrants that BC Hydro respond accordingly.
