Learn how to determine the purpose of the investigation.
Internal investigations can serve numerous purposes. Internal investigations, effectively completed, can gather facts necessary to make business and legal decisions, e.g., whether the employer is in compliance with relevant laws or whether discipline or discharge of the accused or others is appropriate. On the other hand, the main objective served by an investigation conducted is in response to the receipt of an administrative charge or a lawsuit will likely be to assist in defense of the claim. This white paper reviews how to select an investigator and discusses how to preserve the confidentiality of the investigation and warnings or directions to witnesses regarding confidentiality.
