Employers are frequently required to conduct investigations of misconduct in
the workplace. Independent, prompt and thorough investigation of a harassment or
discrimination claim is crucial. An incomplete, inaccurate or biased
investigation can actually aggravate the problem and increase the employer's
potential liability.
The employer should, therefore, select an unbiased, well trained individual who
not only understands employment law, but also knows how to properly conduct an
investigation. HR-OneSource personnel have years of experience in conducting
independent investigations in areas such as:
. Sexual and other workplace harassment
. Discrimination (race, religion, disability, gender, etc.)
. Drug/alcohol use in the workplace
. Threatening or violent behavior
. Theft of property
. Employee/supervisor misconduct
. Other inappropriate conduct
. ADA compliance
. Sexual harassment
. Workplace safety
. Hiring procedures
. Discipline and discharge
. Performance appraisals
