What Employers Need To Conduct Effective Internal Investigations

Navigating personnel-related issues can pose a host of complex issues. Often, employers are faced with the initial decision of whether to investigate their own employees, and then must determine how to effectively conduct such an investigation and take appropriate action while balancing a range of sensitive considerations.

During this webinar, Verrill Dana attorneys Douglas Steinmetz and Calvin Woo will discuss the following steps:

Purpose and Goals of the Investigation – Should You Do an Investigation?
Conducting the Investigation – The Who, How, and Documenting of the Investigation.
Handling the Results of the Investigation – Taking Remedial Action and Managing Potential Publicity Concerns.
