[Webinar] Workplace Investigation Essentials for Employers - Navigating Legal Minefields

Internal investigations are among the most legally sensitive and operationally disruptive processes for employers—especially when allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation arise. The inherent complexity can lead even seasoned HR professionals to face challenges in avoiding exposure to liability.
