Description

Newspapers have recently reported many stories of complaints of sexual harassment being poorly investigated - or not investigated at all. This neglect, if true, led to additional behaviors and reports by alleged victims of these accusations. If they just exist as rumors and are, in fact, untrue, the reputation of the person (or persons) being accused is destroyed almost as badly as it would have been if there had been an investigation and this person was found guilty. And in either case, the victims (alleged or in fact) received no justice. No matter what, it is important to take any complaint seriously – and to make sure there is a neutral, comprehensive and fair investigation conducted.

This course starts off by offering two examples of accusations being brushed off by management – and the ensuing results. Next, we do a very brief review of the laws pertaining to harassment and discrimination. After this, the focus is on how to conduct a neutral, comprehensive, and fair investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct in a corporate setting, along with additional case studies.

This course covers how to conduct an investigation into a complaint of inappropriate behavior in the workplace - and what to do if the complaint reveals a problem.

The presenter did a good job explaining what is an internal investigation. I would recommend this course for beginners, not for someone who has been doing it for a while.

Delivery is difficult to listen to (the presenter seems to have dry mouth and you can hear the sounds that dry mouth creates; the presenter also seems as if she’s too close to mic); too much background feedback. Content is helpful, but needs to be more engaging.

The examples at the beginning could have been better. I did not find the first half to be all that good. However, mid-way through, I was pleased with the quality of the information with respect to the investigation process and biases. No doubt, the presenter is an expert in her field. The front end packaing of the course was not the best.

Yes. I have little experience as to how to manage conflict and initiate investigation. This course gave a brief insight on categorization of the encounters and how we can approach situation of different severeness

The audio is appalling and so off putting. Sounds like she is moving around all the time and in and out of the microphone zone.

If hearsay is going to be mentioned in the sense that it is not allowed as evidence during an investigation, I believe the instructor also needs to mention the instances under which a statement, whether oral or written will be allowed.
