Be the most updated professional in your organization's HR department!

In times of economic anxiety, employers see a rise in the number of employee conflicts, misunderstandings and internal complaints. HR professionals are increasingly relied upon to investigate complex charges of harassment and other employee misconduct. These investigations, which often afford little or no lead time, are difficult exercises in deception detection, complicated by challenging interpersonal dynamics and the ever-present threat of litigation. In addition, Title VII and other statutes regulating employee complaints require that employer investigations be conducted promptly, effectively, fairly and remedially.

In this session, Misti Mukherjee, Partner in the Northern Virginia office of Jackson Lewis LLP, will outline the anatomy of an effective investigative protocol and identify real-life techniques used to distinguish truth from deception. This program will educate the HR professional about how to design, control and understand the elements of an effective investigative plan and process, documents to create and maintain, and best practices for achieving a fair outcome.
