Has Confidentiality Returned to Workplace Investigations?
Original Program Date :
Length: 1 Hour, 4 Minutes
Recently, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) issued a key legal decision that will likely impact the process and procedure that workplace investigators routinely follow in conducting investigations for both unionized and non-unionized workplaces. Under the new case law, it is lawful to require confidentiality during open workplace investigations. What are the implications of this change in the law? What does this decision mean for workplace investigators? For how long can we rely on this decision? This session will provide answers to these questions, as well as a unique summary of the NLRB’s decision from both a labor and workplace investigation perspective.
