Today, HR and Employee Relations has become the place where everyone wants to complain—about anything and everything—and do so frequently. This is a problem on so many levels; however, the biggest problem is that most HR professionals have not had the proper training in how to handle employee relations’ issues and know when and how to conduct investigations. So, when an employee calls HR to complain - what are you supposed to do?
The 'fly by the seat of one's pants' approach of just grabbing a notepad and then calling one witness after the other when allegations have been raised is most definitely not the best process. When the HR professional lacks knowledge in handling complaints and conducting investigations, the employer is at much greater risk for violating federal, state, and in some instances even local laws.
Unbeknown to many, there even can be personal liability for the HR investigator for failing to do a proper investigation. The way to minimize those risks, and the costs associated with mishandling an employee's allegations, is in having a basic understanding of what an investigation is - and how to conduct one - so register today for his crash course in handling allegations of employee misconduct.
