Overview of the webinar

In today's highly scrutinized work environment, the repercussions of workplace harassment extend beyond immediate concerns, impacting an employer's reputation and financial standing. Even incidents occurring outside the workplace can have profound effects. When harassment complaints arise, a thorough and well-conducted investigation is essential, as courts have ruled that failure to investigate equates to discrimination.

This 60-minute webinar equips HR professionals with the necessary tools to conduct comprehensive workplace investigations.
