Workplace Investigations: Beyond the Basics

Description

Employment and labor attorney Kyle Abraham from Ogletree Deakins joins HR Annie and presents on a crucial compliance topic: workplace investigations.

Employers, you receive a complaint that an employee has engaged in harassment or misconduct. What do you do? Act carefully because your next move is critical. Employers will often need to convene an investigation to determine the facts surrounding a complaint before deciding on what, if any, action to take. If done correctly, an investigation becomes a valuable record to support any corrective action necessary to remedy the complaint. If done incorrectly, an investigation can actually be used against you.

Join Kyle as he explains the best practices for convening an investigation and how to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation.
