Sexual harassment in the workplace - how to recognize it, establishing procedures to report it, and how to prevent it.
In any kind of business, there is a chance that employers will be required to investigate one or more employees at some point for allegations of misconduct such as discrimination or sexual harassment. A properly conducted workplace investigation is not only legally required but can also go a long way in protecting companies and mitigating risks for future problems.
In this webinar, Diana Maier and Beth Arnese go over the key things to know about workplace investigations so that you can garner the maximum legal protection such investigations may provide.
Topics addressed include when to investigate, how to prepare for an investigation, how to interview witnesses, how to prepare a written report, what to do after the investigation, and overall best practices for investigations.
Investigations into allegations of workplace violence, harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination or employee misconduct must be conducted in a fair and impartial manner. In our changing legal landscape, businesses need to have a defined process as well as established policies to address violence and harassment in the workplace. Equally important is ensuring that complaints are objectively investigated in a consistent and effective manner. Failure to do so can result in significant legal cost and potential Human Rights Claims

Since conduct is behavior, misconduct is behavior that's not quite right: some kind of shady or criminal conduct. If an accountant cooked the books — lied about finances — that's misconduct. A police officer taking a bribe is guilty of misconduct. Often, misconduct specifically refers to someone who does improper things on behalf of someone else, like the misconduct of a dishonest lawyer.
