From Complaint to Investigation — How to Avoid the Common Pitfalls of a Workplace Retaliation Claim

Join Fisher Phillips attorneys Nathan Okelberry and Rayan Naouchi on September 20, 2018 to learn the information that every employer needs to know “From Complaint to Investigation — How to Avoid the Common Pitfalls of a Workplace Retaliation Claim”

More often than not, a complaint of harassment or discrimination evolves into a retaliation claim after an employee complains or litigation materializes. Ensuring a prompt and adequate investigation of the initial complaint is one of the best ways to protect your company from such claims.

Employers need to be aware and cognizant of the need to adequately investigate employee complaints and the potential conduct that constitutes unlawful retaliation. This presentation will cover what constitutes unlawful retaliation, how to protect and defend your company against such claims, a comparison of whistleblower protection vs. retaliation claims, and creating policies and procedures to minimize potential issues, claims and lawsuits. This complimentary event is a great opportunity to network and talk with our lawyers and other HR professionals in an informal and collaborative setting to get the information you need to stay in the know.
