Workplace investigations

[@LaviniaLathamJD]

Excellent and informative video! This is golden for HR professionals!

I saw this come through on my email and said (out loud) "Aww! Thanks!" So yah! Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. I did one on credibility assessments which you should watch if you liked this one. Also very helpful. :)

[@LaviniaLathamJD]

YES! I'll definitely check it out! I also conduct workplace investigations so I'm always willing to learn more and see how other people are doing it. Thanks for responding! :)@@hrhubtalk

[@hrhubtalk]

Now I feel like I should rewatch this! @@LaviniaLathamJD And I always respond! Except when people are mean. Constructive is OK. Mean... nah. :D

PRL did multiple superficial investigations with the condonment and blind eye to the Retaliations Hassament that I painfully suffered.

Hi Helen. Sounds miserable. I'm sorry to hear it. :(

If a employee is accused of some form of harassment, are they allowed to know who their accuser is?

[@hrhubtalk]

Hi Seano. It's hard for me to imagine how anyone could investigate without telling the respondent who the complainant is! But let's say that is possible, I don't know for sure. This isn't criminal court with associated consequences so quite possibly not. Maybe a lawyer out there will see this and weigh in!

What do you do when a investigation comes down to a he said she said result?

[@hrhubtalk]

Great question. I'm pretty sure I have asked that question in my own training at some point. The answer is a credibility assessment. I hope to do an episode on that sometime soon; however that may be enough to expedite your own immediate research!

[@hrhubtalk]

Hi Chertoff88. So I took your note to motivate a potential guest. We recorded an episode on credibility assessments to be published in a month or so!? Thanks for the question and prompt!!
