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. This session will provide answers to many questions about this decision, as well as a unique summary of the NLRB’s decision from both a labor and workplace investigation perspective.
Come learn from an experienced attorney investigator how to effectively assess credibility using factors such as plausibility, prior record, corroboration, consistency or motive.
On April 29, 2024, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released its long-awaited new guidance, Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace, which replaced the 1999 guidance. This webinar will focus on the must-know, key details for workplace investigators, with a particular focus on how this guidance will impact states who rely on federal EEO laws.
This program will explore the nuances and difficulties that arise when there are dueling complaints of bias. Our presenters will address how bias functions, how to make reliable credibility determinations, and how to leverage methods of direct elicitation to the benefit of fact-finding. Participants will walk away with the tools necessary to sift through contesting testimony to arrive at the best possible reconstruction of what took place—and how to respond.
Those attending will gain insight into handling high-profile investigations, as well as into allegations that don’t quite rise to the level of harassment and allegations that are well beyond the statute of limitations (and perhaps outside of the strict employment context).
In this session, we will discuss issues and nuances that are unique to investigating fraud, bribery, kickback schemes, conflicts of interest and other allegations of financial wrongdoing.
