Employers have a broad responsibility to investigate workplace issues...Do You Need To Investigate?

Associated Employers’ HR Professionals conduct internal investigations with the knowledge and experience necessary to instill employer confidence -confidence in the investigation process and confidence to support appropriate action. Thorough and impartial investigation demonstrates the exercise of reasonable care to prevent and correct inappropriate workplace conduct. Increasingly, society demands that employers engage in internal investigation to address alleged improprieties.

Employees also expect employers to investigate in response to complaints of harassment, discrimination, unfair treatment, and hostile work environment. Gone are the days when "he-said, she-said" controversies are dismissed out of hand as unsubstantiated. A good faith analysis of the available facts and credibility assessment is the expectation.

AE’s interviews provide individual participants with a unique opportunity to be heard by a third party, which can de-escalate emotionally charged situations while creating comprehensive documentation to support appropriate corrective action.
