3. Description:
Can you investigate without getting sued? Maybe, but isn't
it better to first try to make sure there's no basis for a suit
to begin with? Making the right decision often turns on the
quality of the investigation and how it was conducted
because a flawed investigation can expose the employer to
a significant and costly legal contest. But avoiding
potential litigation fees is just part of the goal.When done
correctly, an investigation provides early identification of
current or potential workplace issues and the opportunity
to prevent it from repeating which can result in better
business operations and higher levels of productivity
regardless of what's being investigated.
