Learning Objective

  • Discuss how retaliation occurs in the workplace.
  • Identify the elements of a retaliation violation the investigator must prove.
  • Explain how to show whether the employee’s harm was retaliatory and not the result of appropriate employer conduct.

Course Overview

From time to time, an employer will need to investigate – formally or informally – concerns about an employee’s workplace behavior.  If your organization has a hotline and other reporting channels to give employees a way to speak up, this is only half of the equation.

The other half is thoroughly addressing – and when necessary, fully investigating – allegations once they have been reported.

Properly investigating and resolving allegations not only bolsters and safeguards your organization but also equips management with essential information for informed decision-making. By conducting thorough investigations, you uphold the integrity of the employee discipline process and demonstrate a steadfast commitment to addressing employee concerns.

While the objectives and scope of investigations may vary, their overarching goal is always to ascertain the relevant facts. Although each investigation is unique and may require tailored approaches, adhering to standard techniques fosters fairness, transparency, and consistency throughout the process.

This online webinar covers the following key topics:

  • How does employee retaliation occur in the workplace?
  • The elements of a retaliation policy violation for which you gather evidence.
  • The techniques for proving causation in an employee retaliation claim.
  • Guiding management in their role in your investigation

Join this course and delve into effective investigation techniques for addressing whistleblower retaliation allegations against employees.
