Why Should You Attend:

If a company fails to take harassment concerns seriously or fails to investigate a complaint properly, it risks potential liability under federal or state law. In addition, poor responses to harassment concerns could lead to negative publicity or poor employee morale. This webinar will help you ensure that you are following good practices when investigating sensitive workplace complaints.

Whenever an employee raises concerns of harassment at work, it is important for businesses to investigate the concerns and to take prompt and appropriate corrective action if necessary. The people handling the investigation must understand how to maintain discretion while investigating, how to plan the investigation, and how to create and maintain key documentation. It is also important for all involved in the process to ensure that the process is free from any retaliation. Following a mock harassment complaint, this webinar will show you how to plan and implement an investigation. This webinar will also touch on key practices to minimize the risk of retaliation against the employee or witnesses.
