Empowering You to Investigate Workplace Misconduct with Confidence
August 21, 2024
Employment Law
When investigating workplace misconduct, employers need to be confident in their decision-making. These investigations can have significant legal ramifications, and making assumptions can lead to costly oversights and mistakes.
How We Empower Our Clients to Investigate Workplace Misconduct with Confidence
How can employers ensure that they are gathering all of the data they need without making mistakes that compromise the investigative process? Here are seven ways we empower our clients to conduct workplace misconduct investigations with confidence:
- Feeling Confident that You Are Following an Informed Strategy – We devise customized workplace investigation strategies that allow our clients to take a systematic approach to the investigative process. By following an informed strategy that is custom-tailored to the circumstances at hand, you can feel confident that the process will lead to its intended outcome.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Respecting Employees’ Legal Rights – We work with our clients to ensure that they are respecting their employees’ legal rights. As an attorney and certified EEO Investigator and Counselor, Founder and Managing Director Victoria Aguilar is extremely well-versed in the protections that apply during workplace misconduct investigations.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Following Appropriate Protocols and Procedures – When conducting workplace misconduct investigations, it is imperative that employers follow their internal protocols and procedures. By managing the process on behalf of our clients, we are able to ensure that they take all necessary steps without doing anything that could create additional risk or jeopardize the fidelity of the investigation.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Leaving No Stone Unturned – A comprehensive approach is critical when investigating workplace misconduct. Overlooking any relevant records or data can leave employers without the information they need to make sound decisions.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Asking the Right Questions – Conducting employee interviews is often an integral part of the investigative process. But, when interviewing employees, it is critical to ask the right questions. We know what questions to ask (and what questions not to ask) to ensure that we obtain accurate information and unbiased perspectives.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Preserving All Relevant Evidence – When conducting an investigation in anticipation of potential litigation, it is also critical to preserve all relevant evidence—both favorable and unfavorable. With our Founder and Managing Director’s legal background, we are able to assist our clients with identifying potentially relevant records and data, and we are able to assist with effectively implementing a “legal hold” on the advice of counsel as well.
- Feeling Confident that You Are Acting with Your Company’s Best Interests in Mind – Finally, when conducting a workplace misconduct investigation you need to feel confident that you are acting with your company’s best interests in mind. By guiding our clients step-by-step through the process, we ensure that they have the information and insights they need to take appropriate action without unnecessary uncertainty or undue delays.
