"The law is constantly evolving to protect workers. In recent years, that evolution has included increasing expectations of a workplace that is fair, civil and safe. To achieve those expectations, and avoid liability, employers must have resources to investigate allegations of conflict and discrimination. Wise employers will use a lawyer well versed in employment law and advocacy to do three things: 1) Complete a thorough and competent investigation that makes appropriate credibility assessments; 2) Provide privileged advice to manage liability that may flow from any investigation findings; and 3) Provide practical suggestions to resolve immediate and future workplace conflicts."
