In the wake of the me too movement, employers are more aware than ever of the need to respond appropriately to claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, or other workplace misconduct. Sometimes that response may require a prompt and thorough investigation of the allegations. Whether conducted internally or by a third party, investigations should be handled in a manner that is fair, impartial, and respectful of the rights of those involved. The faculty discuss how best to plan and undertake an objective workplace investigation, including practical advice on determining the investigation's scope, interviewing witnesses, and avoiding common pitfalls.
