The Investigation Roadmap, Live: The Foundation for a Defensible Workplace Investigation

Thursday, December 3, 2026
12:00-1:00 P.M. EST

Every workplace investigation is conducted twice—once in real time, and once in litigation, where it is reconstructed line by line by someone paid to find its flaws.

 

Join Vorys labor and employment attorneys as they bring the twelve-part Investigation Roadmap series to life in one hour.  They will discuss the importance of choosing the right investigator, protecting (or deliberately not protecting) privilege, preserving the evidence that deletes itself, interviewing complainants and the accused, making credibility calls that hold up, and closing the file without opening a retaliation claim. This webinar will walk through these steps while applying a single real-world fact pattern, from the Friday-afternoon complaint to the final decisions.

 

This webinar is designed for HR professionals, in-house counsel, and business leaders.
