ACCOUNTABILITY
 |
t is vital to hold people at all levels of an organization accountable for behavior that violates federal, state and local laws, workplace policies, codes of conduct and a respectful workplace. The integrity of workplace investigations is paramount and requires the use of an experienced, neutral third-party who is knowledgeable about the law and who has honed fact-gathering skills. Such a person is able to promptly and thoroughly gather facts so organizations can find solutions to workplace concerns.
NeuVest® consultants are attorneys who with extensive litigation, corporate and human resource experience. Organizations retain NeuVest® consultants to conduct neutral workplace investigations for a variety of reasons:
- They want an objective, unbiased person to conduct the investigation;
- There is a lack of resources to conduct the investigation promptly or thoroughly “in-house”;
- The conduct or concern complained of was allegedly perpetuated by very high-level employees within the organization;
- They want to send a strong message to those in the workplace that it takes seriously the complaints or concerns that are the subject of the investigation;
- Interviewees are more likely to “open up” and provide important information with a neutral third-party than they would with an in-house HR professional, in-house legal counsel or an attorney representing the organization;
- They want to preserve their relationship with legal counsel and protect against the possibility that their legal counsel may be called as a fact witness or the attorney-client and work-product privileges may be waived should the matter proceed to litigation.
NeuVest® consultants investigate many workplace issues including the following:
- Harassment (including sexual harassment)
- Discrimination
- Misconduct
- Ethics
- Violence
- Drugs and alcohol
- Mismanagement
- Misappropriations
- Whistle blower
