Performance Management Investigation
Services
Internal investigations are formal inquiries into complaints of
sexual or other harassment or any misconduct. Conducting a prompt
and effective investigation is crucial to correcting any misconduct that
may have occurred, to handling a complaint sufficiently internally,
thereby lessening the risk that the complaining employee will file a
charge or lawsuit. And if an employee does file a charge or
lawsuit, it will serve as a defense that the credit union had an
effective internal complaint policy that the employee failed to
use.
It is essential that these investigations are performed by someone
who is skilled at soliciting the appropriate information, questioning
the right individuals, and doing so in a non-threatening manner that
respects the rights of all involved. In some situations, a credit
union may with to use an outside impartial investigator to ensure that
the matter is dealt with quickly and effectively. This service
will be provided by Joanne Whiting, who will conduct the investigation
and provide a report of her factual findings, a conclusion about whether
inappropriate conduct occurred, and, where called for, a recommendation
for discipline.
