Escalations

Issues that have crossed an automatic threshold or that a manager flagged for help. The ladder moves work upward without anyone having to chase it: manager → HR → leadership.

The escalation ladder

  1. 7
    Manager reminder
    Unresolved 7+ days — automated nudge to the owner.
  2. 14
    HR notified
    Unresolved 14+ days — People Operations picks up the handoff package.
  3. 21
    Leadership escalation
    Unresolved 21+ days, or a manager flags it urgent — surfaced for a decision.

Coaching cadence: every employee gets a documented coaching touch at least every 30 days; clusters of misses escalate. Open requisitions escalate past 30 days.
