Employee complaints affect organizations of all sizes and across all industries. Whether an employee claims that they are being harassed on the job or that another employee is “cooking the books,” the company will need to conduct a workplace investigation.
An efficient investigation determines whether an employee has engaged in misconduct without getting bogged down in extraneous information or spiraling into a broader analysis of unrelated conduct. According to a poll conducted by Ogletree Deakins in 2021, internal complaints and workplace investigations are on the rise.
