Labor and Employment Law Section Meeting (virtual)

Conducting Effective Workplace Investigations in Today’s Workplace

Speaker
Diana Maier | Maier Law Group
Emily Harrington | Maier Law Group

THIS Virtual PROGRAM will be rescheduled to May 9th.

Diana Maier and Emily Harrington, employment attorneys and investigators at Maier Law Group, will speak regarding current industry best-practices for workplace investigations. They will cover: the hallmarks of a strong investigation versus a weak one; whether an internal or external investigator is best-suited to conduct the investigation; and how a well-conducted investigation supports an employer’s defense in litigation and saves an employer money in the long-term. Diana and Emily will also discuss current trends in workplace investigations, such as implicit bias allegations, diversity equity and inclusion (“DEI”)’s impact on allegations, and how remote work has affected employee allegations.
