Why Should You Attend
From time to time, an employer will need to investigate – formally or informally – concerns about an employee’s workplace behavior. If your organization has a hotline and other reporting channels to give employees a way to speak up, this is only half of the equation.
The other half is thoroughly addressing – and when necessary, fully investigating – allegations once they have been reported.
Investigating and resolving an allegation correctly strengthens and protects your organization. A proper investigation gives management needed information and a factual basis on which to make its decisions. It also reinforces both the fairness of the employee discipline process and your commitment to learning about employee concerns.
The objectives and scope of investigations vary widely, but its overriding purpose is always to find out the relevant facts. Each investigation may be unique and handled differently, following standard techniques can help you investigate in a fair, transparent, and consistent manner.
