Product Description

When an employer receives a complaint of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or other workplace misconduct, its next steps are critical. Is an investigation warranted, and if so, what should it look like? The faculty discuss the benefits of prompt, thorough, and impartial assessments of workplace complaints, including a step-by-step review of sound investigation practices. Learn about circumstances when an outside investigation may be needed, how to map an appropriate investigation plan, and what common mistakes to avoid in the process.
