When allegations have been made and an organization wants to exclude the possibility that wrongdoing has occurred, or if there is significant wrongdoing, misconduct, or ethical lapses, a proper investigation will reveal workplace issues one way or another, enabling business leaders to create a plan for further action and avoid potential workplace liability. Usually, through an investigation, you can identify potential negative or detrimental workplace culture issues.

Responsiveness to an employee’s complaint about workplace concerns not only enables the employer to gather the best information but also provides the employer with the opportunity to resolve internal problems before they become widespread.

Given every complaint could turn into litigation, a well-planned and documented investigation, conducted by an experienced Agree To Agree professional, is necessary and can be an employer’s best defense.
