Workplace harassment is a risky business on the rise, one that affects your company’s reputation, workforce and assets. In today's “sue first and ask questions later,” world, many companies are at risk for lawsuits regarding harassment and discrimination allegations. The average cost for litigating these law suits is in excess of $120,000+. Workplace investigations are the cornerstone of your corporate defense against these lawsuits. Every company should know how to measure up:
Is my company at risk for sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits?
How do I identify current risk-factors and levels for our company?
How to conduct a neutral workplace investigation?
What steps do I need to follow to conduct a workplace investigation the right way?
As an employer you have a legal obligation to investigate workplace harassment complaints quickly and effectively, ensuring neutrality at every step of the process. Employers are liable for harassment, whether they knew of it or not, but the penalties imposed will be less, or non-existent, for an employer that responds quickly and effectively to a complaint…to remedy and prevent recurrence.
