In today’s workplace, there are numerous situations that can cause problems for employers that need to be followed up on and investigated by HR. These include claims of harassment, claims of discrimination, claims of a hostile environment, claims of retaliation, claims of improper pay practices, and many more claims of improper management practices. HR usually ends up with the responsibility for conducting these investigations.
These claims cost companies millions of dollars in settlements, lawyer fees, and bad publicity.
Companies that opt not to conduct investigations generally do not correct situations on which these claims are made and ultimately end up in court costing them tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Improperly conducting investigations can be near as damaging to the company. We will learn about the steps of a proper investigation and why it is important to lay the groundwork for a good investigation.
