Employee Concerns Program

Value and Philosophy
The U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center (EMCBC), believes that investigating, understanding and responding to employee concerns provides a valuable tool to improve safety, the work environment and productivity at the EMCBC and customer sites.

The EMCBC also believes that employee concerns are most efficiently resolved when the employee resolves concerns at the local level with his/her employer. When the employee cannot achieve resolution with his/her employer, or has a real concern regarding retaliation, intimidation or harassment, the EMCBC encourages the employee to contact the Employee Concerns Program (ECP) Office.


Filing an Employee Concern
Concerns can be expressed in person, by phone, by email, or in writing. Forms are available throughout the EMCBC and customer site facilities.

    • Working Conditions
    • Quality
    • Security
    • Reprisal
    • Managment
    • Intimidation
