Conducting Effective Workplace Investigations

OADA Webinar

Register Here!Brown Bag Lunch Webinar Series

Jane tells your HR Manager that John smells like pot, is acting oddly, and has made a pass at her. Where do you start? How do you ask the right questions of the right people, and protect the dealership while doing so? Would you know where to begin?

Most dealerships will need to conduct investigations in the workplace. Investigations can revolve around allegations that include theft, drug/alcohol use, misconduct, employee performance and sexual harassment. The potential liability of a dealership, and in some instances the personal liability of a manager, is dependent upon the quality, promptness and fairness of the investigation.

Done correctly, an investigation can help keep an internal problem from becoming an external one, mitigate the potential for morale and productivity problems, and prevent legal problems and financial losses. A poorly conducted investigation can negatively impact employee morale, cause adverse publicity, churn the gossip wheels, and be costly.

Join OADA as we welcome Melanie Webber, a Partner in the Cleveland Office of Fisher Phillips, to present this topic to you. This webinar will provide guidelines for conducting investigations, including interviewing witnesses, reviewing dealership records and making credibility determinations, which will help give you confidence when conducting your own internal investigation. The webinar also will provide tips on how to prepare the documentation, which is critical in supporting the termination of an employee for misconduct.

Melanie Webber is a frequent OADA presenter, and will facilitate this one-hour webinar and take your questions. Fisher Phillips serves as labor and employment counsel to OADA and provides members counseling regarding employment issues through OADA's legal hotline.

There is a $20 connection fee for OADA member dealers, and a $50 connection fee for non-member dealers. Register Here!
