Workplace harassment and/or bullying are common complaints amongst employees in all industries-but what conduct gives rise to legal action? For employers, timely, thorough, and effective investigations are a necessary tool to potentially resolve the conflict or mitigate liability exposure. For employees-both those raising concerns and those accused of misconduct-deftly navigating an internal investigation is essential. The panelists discuss best practices and key considerations for employees raising complaints internally, or who are the subject of an internal complaint, as well as for effective employer investigations-and what happens next.
