Recorded Web Conference
Conducting Legal And Effective Workplace Investigations
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Eastern
Robert Brody, Esq.
Background
Nearly every employer has faced allegations of harassment and discrimination…or situations involving safety, violence, theft, or fraud — and what you do next is critical.
Conducting prompt, thorough investigations — followed by appropriate corrective action — is the best way to insulate your company from potential liability when confronted with accusations of legal or policy violations.
Failure to conduct or properly perform a workplace investigation may lead to a negligent employment practice claim or other action.
A negligent employment practice involving a workplace investigation may include failure to provide an experienced or unbiased person to conduct the investigation; negligence in the performance of the investigation, which led to wrongful findings; or failure to conduct the investigation in a timely manner, resulting in the loss of evidence.
Learn how to conduct a legally sound workplace investigation...before the next employee complaint lands on your desk or knocks on your door. Join AHI and labor law attorney, Bob Brody, Esq., for a live web conference:
