An employee has made a complaint, alleging that a manager has continually asked her out after work and is now retaliating against her for rebuffing his advances. You now have a duty to undertake a prompt, thorough and impartial investigation but that involves more than asking a few questions — it requires careful planning and diligent execution to be effective. Thankfully, on Thursday, August 28, CalChamber will host an intensive Conducting California Workplace Investigations seminar, providing hands-on experience conducting a workplace investigation from start to finish.
Keep in mind, while California law requires investigating harassment, discrimination or retaliation complaints based on a legally protected class, investigating other types of workplace conduct is a best practice because it ensures you establish a solid basis for policy violations and disciplinary actions.
And during the seminar, employment law experts will discuss California workplace investigation requirements, including:
- Reviewing the legal requirements for investigations.
- Establishing a compliant workplace investigation policy.
- Understanding when investigations must be conducted.
- Watching the employment law experts conduct a mock investigation using a real-life scenario, including:
- Developing the scope of the investigation.
- Conducting witness interviews.
- Evaluating evidence and assessing credibility of witnesses.
- Making conclusory findings.
- Closing the investigation.
Plus, during the webinar, participants can engage in a live Q&A with our experts. Register now!
