We provide objective 3rd party investigations into workplace complaints, including allegations of illegal harassment and discrimination. Harassment is one of the most frequent complaints brought by employees, and prevention should be a paramount concern for the employer
The United States Supreme Court told employers that they are subject to a "strong inducement to ferret out and put a stop to any discriminatory activities" in the workplace. Employers have been instructed, "to adopt and strengthen procedures for investigating, preventing, and correcting discriminatory conduct."
The workplace investigation process is an important management tool for employers when faced with a harassment complaint. If investigations are done properly, they can aid employers in avoiding lawsuits, offer employers defenses, and lessen damages if there is subsequent litigation. Alternatively, if employers do not investigate complaints or investigate complaints appropriately, they may face greater liability in subsequent lawsuits and agency proceedings.
