Webinar: Understanding Workplace Investigations
Event Details
Understanding Workplace Investigations
The initial response to an allegation of workplace misconduct can determine whether the matter can be resolved quickly or descend into a quagmire of litigation. A critical part of the initial response is the investigation of the allegations of misconduct. If done correctly, the initial investigation can provide administration with the information it needs to defuse a potentially volatile situation. Done improperly, the “investigation” can provide a disgruntled employee with potent evidence in support of a retaliation or whistleblower claim. This session will examine the dos and don’ts of investigating allegations of harassment or discrimination misconduct and provide attendees with the tools necessary to gather and use information in support of employment actions.
