Investigate―and resolve―common workplace problems
Workplace complaints carry serious legal and financial risks to a company, so it’s essential to act fast when you receive an employee complaint. But an ineffective or poorly handled investigation can land your company in even more trouble than not performing one at all.

- deciding whether to investigate
- taking immediate action, if necessary
- choosing an investigator

- interviewing witnesses
- gathering and evaluating the evidence
- taking action
