We are excited to share the next installment of our video series, Conducting Workplace Investigations | Step #4: Perfect the Plan. This series, 10 Steps Every Company Should Take When Conducting Workplace Investigations, is intended to guide HR leaders faced with investigating a complaint between coworkers, such as harassment or inappropriate conduct, through the investigation process.
Each video in this series offers practical tips on everything from creating the investigation plan; interviewing relevant parties; and dealing with the aftermath of the investigation, including potential disciplinary actions taken against an employee.
In this video, Bass, Berry & Sims labor and employment attorney Laura Mallory outlines specific measures to take while crafting the investigation plan, including suspension and the separation of parties. Laura also explains how documents can be used during an investigation and how certain recordings could be critical in determining the truth around a workplace conflict.
Several attorneys in our Labor & Employment Practice Group are featured in this video series and offer great recommendations for navigating this tricky process.
