Investigating Workplace Misconduct—How to Do It Right

share print

Employees frequently complain -- about everything from interpersonal conflicts to the snack selections in the vending machine in your lunch room. Which types of employee complaints require formal investigation and action from the company? Once a complaint is received, how do you decide whether it should be conducted internally by your Human Resources Department, outside counsel, or an outside investigator? What are your obligations as an employer when an employee lodges a "confidential" complaint that he or she wants "off the record"? How do you properly document the investigation so the information will be useful in the event of a lawsuit?
Come join experienced CDF attorneys at our complimentary HR Roundtable on May 17 to learn how to avoid the common pitfalls of conducting a harassment or misconduct investigation and to use proper investigations not only to correct misbehavior in the workplace but as a way to reduce and manage the risk of potential litigation.

We hope you can attend this informative, live, and interactive Roundtable at a participating CDF office near you. HRCI credit is pending for this presentation. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register, clickhere.
