Sample Letter for Response to Employee Complaint about Smoking
Dear [Employee's Name], Thank you for bringing your concerns regarding smoking in the workplace to our attention. We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and comfortable work environment for all employees, and we appreciate your willingness to speak up about this issue. At [Company Name], we prioritize the health and well-being of our employees, and we comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding smoking in the workplace. We strictly enforce a no-smoking policy in all indoor areas of our premises, including offices, conference rooms, common areas, and restrooms. To ensure compliance with this policy, we have designated clearly marked smoking areas outside the building, away from entrances and windows, where employees who choose to smoke can do so without affecting others. These areas are equipped with proper disposal units for cigarette butts, and we regularly monitor and maintain cleanliness to prevent any inconveniences. We understand that exposure to secondhand smoke can be a significant concern for non-smoking employees. Therefore, we kindly request your cooperation in informing us about any specific instances or areas where smoking may be occurring in violation of our policy. To facilitate this, we have implemented an anonymous reporting system where employees can report any smoking-related concerns or violations confidentially and without fear of retaliation. This allows us to address the issue promptly and take appropriate actions. Additionally, we encourage open communication among team members to foster a respectful and considerate workplace environment. We recommend discussing any discomfort or concerns directly with the individuals involved, as they may be unaware of the impact of their actions on others. If you feel uncomfortable doing so, please reach out to your supervisor, HR representative, or any member of management, and we will gladly assist you in addressing the matter. Rest assured that any reports or complaints will be taken seriously, and proper disciplinary actions will be implemented if necessary, in accordance with our company policies and procedures. By addressing this concern, we aim to provide a smoke-free workplace for everyone's benefit. We appreciate your commitment to maintaining a healthy work environment, and we thank you again for your diligence in addressing this matter.
