Workplace Investigations

Workplace Investigations

When an employee makes an allegation against a co-worker or superior, such as sexual harassment, bullying, toxic workplace environment or descrimination on the basis of disability, age, sex, race, religion, it is incumbant upon the employer to handle the situation properly.

These situations usually involve high emotions on the part of the people involved. The best way for an employer to protect itself is to hire Crangle to conduct an unbiased investigation into the allegations, write a confidential report for the employer, and provide specific legal advice to the company so that it can navigate the best way forward. If an employer fails to perform a thorough and unbiased investigation by hiring an experienced lawyer to investigate, then the employer may be held liable in a subsequent lawsuit.

In addition, Crangle can advise employers by reviewing their workplace policies, suggesting improvements if necessary, and providing guidance on conducting internal investigations in the future. Taking steps to avoid litigation in the future helps protect the company’s interests.
