Course Description
Trying to run a business in today’s turbulent economy is hard enough without having to deal with unscrupulous, disloyal, unethical, and otherwise disastrous employees!
Unfortunately, bad employees can be very expensive. Bad employees not only steal property but also injure customers and other employees, file frivolous lawsuits, generate legitimate lawsuits, create lousy press, contribute to employee turnover, and ultimately, can cause business failure.
There is no “perfect” investigation formula. Instead, each matter is viewed case by case.
How you investigate, manage, and prevent wrongful employee conduct becomes a significant risk management issue for your company. It is not just your liability you have to be concerned about but also the effect the circumstances can have on your company’s culture.
Employment litigation generates mistrust, lowered morale, and non-productivity, on top of exorbitant legal fees and costs. Therefore, you not only have to gather facts but also ask questions such as:
- Am I doing everything necessary to maintain the level of trust within this company?
- Am I respecting my employee’s right to privacy in this process?
- Who’s going to sue us next?
In this course, veteran attorney & a skilled workplace investigator, Don Phin will discuss the following:
- What you should investigate
- Who should do the investigation
- How to take appropriate corrective action
- What needs to be done to prevent wrongful conduct from occurring in the first place.
