Description
Conducting personnel investigations is one of the most challenging tasks confronting public agencies. Doing it right requires skill, experience, and training - doing it wrong can have a negative impact on your entire organization. Employee misconduct can cause injury, damage morale, negatively affect the company culture, and reduce productivity. A proper investigation helps remedy these ills, correcting misconduct and protecting the agency from liability. This manual is an invaluable reference tool for public sector management and covers of misconduct involving harassment, discrimination, retaliation, attendance, dishonesty, and insubordination. The second edition is updated with a chapter explaining the risks and challenges investigators face when called upon to defend their reports and sections with case and statutory updates and an explanation of new developments.
