Business Investigations
Your employees are the backbone of your business, but even the most trusted employees can break this trust under certain circumstances and if the opportunity presents itself.
When this happens, what are your options?
Internal investigations conducted by company personnel are problematic.
-
They can result in claims of discrimination and unfair inquiry into the alleged violation.
-
Calling in local law enforcement may bring more attention to the incident than the corporation and stakeholders wish to disclose.
-
Terminating an employee without the necessary evidence to substantiate the termination is risky and again can lead to additional legal action on the part of the employee.
Note: Conversely, if an employer falsely accuses an employee and follows the accusations with wrongful termination, employees have a right to request an inquiry into whether the company violated the law.
What proactive steps should you take?
Background investigations – hotline – evaluations
Investigations and evaluations go hand in hand: An investigation will find root cause of an existing problem and will evaluate the stituation to stop wrongdoing from continuing. However, having periodic evaluations in place can prevent wrongdoing ahead of time as part of a "proactive" preventative plan.
