Workplace Investigations

When an alleged serious transgression is reported by a manager, the ER team will analyze the merits of the claim by conducting a thorough workplace investigation. 

An ER representative may either lead the investigation and/or refer the case to either the The Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX in the case of sexual harassment or a discrimination complaint.

If you are a manager and have questions regarding workplace investigations, call 5.2557.

The investigator may:

• gather and review all documentation and/or evidence;
• schedule interviews with the parties involved;
• evaluate all the facts objectively;
• write a report which includes recommended options to resolve the issue based on objective facts.

Common workplace investigations include:

• behavioral conflict;
• grievances;
• harassment;
• interpersonal conflict;
• safety;
• reasonable suspicion;
• retaliation;
• theft.
