Workplace Investigations
Many employers respond to allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, employee fraud, and other serious matters by launching a formal workplace investigation. Sometimes, this investigation is carried out by an internal investigator, such as a human resources representative. At other times, the employer hires an outside expert to conduct the investigation. In either case, the investigator will normally meet with the employees directly involved and with key witnesses. The purpose of the investigation is to determine what happened and whether any employees engaged in misconduct. Based on the results of the investigation, employees may be disciplined or dismissed.
