Employment A to Z: Workplace Investigations from Start to Finish

An employee complains about supervisor misconduct; a manager sees an employee make inappropriate comments to another employee; you receive a discrimination charge from the EEOC. What do each of these have in common? Alleged wrongdoing needs to be investigated. Prompt, thorough, and effective investigations are essential to address allegations that employee rights have been violated and to resolve workplace disputes.

Well-done investigations, in conjunction with effective reporting mechanisms, help maintain a positive work environment, allow matters to get resolved quickly, and can avert or be a defense in litigation. This session will be an opportunity to learn from experienced plaintiff and defense attorneys how a good (or bad) investigation may impact the workplace and potential litigation. Lenny Segal and Joni Thome will address how to conduct an effective workplace investigation, from pre-investigation considerations through the actual investigation and, ultimately, communicating the investigator’s findings to company management, responding to the reporting employee, and disciplining an employee for wrongdoing.
