Anti-Harassment: 03. Investigating Harassment Claims

As a manager, you might be called upon to conduct or assist in conducting an investigation of sexual harassment. The EEOC says that whoever conducts a sexual harassment investigation should be well-trained in the skills that are required for interviewing witnesses and evaluating credibility. If you don’t have the training or necessary skills, that’s okay. That’s what HR and lawyers are for. This course is designed to give you an overview of a sexual harassment investigation, so you know what to expect. We’ll discuss common questions that investigators ask. We’ll go over when and how to take action. We’ll also cover some things to consider and common mistakes that you’ll want to avoid during an investigation.
