Internal workplace harassment investigations are commonly conducted by a company representative, such as from within the Human Resources department or other competent investigators. A different approach includes having a union representative co-investigate the complaint, which can often alleviate difficult conversations and a grievance about the findings after the fact.
Whether you are an internal or external investigator, this webinar will provide insight on how to incorporate principles of a trauma-informed approach into your investigative practices.
We will discuss the Family and Educational Rights Privacy Act and how it is implicated in investigations; mandated reporting and Lybarger admonitions; and the laws and rules that govern the discipline of certificated employees and what they mean to the investigation report.
This webinar will explore the ethical issues that in-house attorneys, external counsel, investigators and plaintiffs' or complainants' attorney face when conducting, supervising and representing parties in workplace investigations.
