Description

Conducting personnel investigations is one of the most challenging tasks confronting public agencies. Doing it right requires skill, experience, and training, while doing it wrong can have numerous negative impacts throughout the organization. A proper investigation assists a public agency in achieving the goals of remedying employee misconduct and facilitating the process of making victims of miscon-duct whole. These goals are invaluable in any employ-ment setting where misconduct can cause injury to em-ployees, damage to worker-morale, and negatively affect productivity. A proper investigation can also protect a public agency from liability. This Manual is a valuable reference tool for public sector management, covering investigations of employee misconduct including, but not limited to allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, attendance, dishonesty, and insubordination.
