Employee discipline, misconduct, and harassment issues, and workplace discrimination complaints and investigations require prompt and thoughtful attention. Employers must fully understand the complaint allegations, conduct thorough internal investigations consistent with due process requirements, and apply progressive discipline, up to and including termination, when appropriate. Inadequate investigations or failure to follow proper procedures often result in decreased workplace morale, employee strife, and potential legal claims against the employer.

We frequently counsel employers on the complaint-investigation process and often conduct harassment and discrimination investigations on behalf of our clients. We have vast experience in conducting thorough, objective workplace investigations that lead to clear findings and well-supported recommended actions.
