1.  Meeting Summary
We convened to address escalating concerns about Diana's safety and well-being.  Her recent behavior and attendance patterns have shifted notably, coinciding with a new boyfriend and a move from Frankfort to Lafayette.  We learned from Nora that Diana is largely isolated locally, dealing with vehicle and documentation issues, and may be planning to move in with this boyfriend after only a couple of months of dating.  There was an apparent police interaction yesterday morning related to car issues and lack of insurance.  Communication irregularities include a third party with a nonlocal accent calling Nathan to request time off on her behalf and a follow-up text from Diana's number written in unusually polished English.

Given our duty of care and EHS responsibilities, we aligned on a cautious, confidential approach: have Nora check in with Diana directly in Spanish today and report whether her responses sound like her.  If there is no contact or the responses feel off, we will request a welfare check through Lafayette PD.  If there is a no call/no show tomorrow, we will escalate.  We also agreed to tighten expectations that, in sensitive situations, the employee must speak to us directly by phone when feasible.  Lisa will verify Diana's emergency contacts.  Tanner provided guidance on Indiana's one-party consent and the welfare check process.  I will ensure we handle this within legal and policy boundaries and accelerate language access options to reduce misunderstandings going forward.

4.  Relevant Timelines
- Today:
  - Nora to contact Diana and update Nathan.
  - Lisa to verify emergency contacts.
  - If no contact or abnormal response by end of day, Tanner to assist with initiating a welfare check with Lafayette PD.
- Tomorrow:
  - If Diana no call/no shows, escalate and proceed to welfare check and further steps as needed.
- Future:
  - Female-to-female wellness conversation to be scheduled promptly once contact is made and conditions allow.
  - HR backfill starts on the sixteenth, which should enhance capacity for employee support conversations.

5.  Additional Notes
- Confidentiality is critical.  We are acting out of genuine safety concern, not discipline.  Make this clear in any outreach.
- Behavioral changes observed: shift from conservative dress to more revealing attire, reduced church attendance, inconsistent personal stories, new boyfriend reportedly living two hours away, talk of moving in together, and consideration of leaving the job.
- Vehicle/documentation issues: recent car trouble on I-65, reported lack of insurance, and interaction with law enforcement.  This supports why she left at lunch and did not return, though communication should have been direct.
- Communication risk indicators: third party calling on her behalf; unusually polished English via text from her number; prior instance of pastor emailing management about PTO.  These raise red flags for potential undue influence.  No accusations, but we remain vigilant for exploitation or coercion.
- Policy and governance:
  - Current practice allows texting for call-offs, but in high-risk scenarios we should require a direct voice conversation when practical.
  - Indiana is a one-party consent state; however, we need a company policy clarifying permissible recording practices.
  - We should formalize an SOP for welfare checks, documentation standards, and thresholds for escalation to law enforcement.
- Language access: the language barrier contributes to misunderstandings.  We should evaluate professional interpreter options and continue advancing Spanish training for supervisors.
