How to Create Bulletproof Documentation in Employee Investigations

 

More than ever before, employers are finding it necessary to conduct internal investigations. This is not because today's employers are more curious than their predecessors; it's because good investigations can reduce inefficiency, detect wrongdoing, and save money. More pointedly, in a society where so many people seem to be looking for a lawsuit to provide them a bountiful living, competent, well-done
investigations can avoid lawsuits, or at least help in defending against them. Of course,
the benefits to be derived are only as good as the underlying investigations, and a poorly
conceived or ineptly executed investigation can be more of a liability than a benefit. In
short, when employers undertake investigations, they had better be done well.
