WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS

Eventually, every company will need to investigate one or more of its workers. In California, there is an affirmative duty for employers to conduct a prompt, unbiased and extensive examination into worker complaints of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. When such an event occurs, we respond quickly to analyze the situation and provide a detailed report of the investigative findings while minimizing unnecessary monetary and workplace impact. With our experience, we are able to identify key areas of concern, resolve inconsistencies, and complete investigations in a timely manner.
