Helpful Tips for Effective Harassment Investigation at Workplace

An organization has different employees and a rift between different employees is not a big issue. The employers get different complaints about the same and need to conduct proper investigations before reaching on any decision. This is not easy for the employers, as a minor mistake can make his decision questionable. Here are a few tips for effective employee harassment investigations:

1. Start investigation with an open mind. Don’t start with any prejudice in mind. It might make your decision partial.

2. Keep the things confidential and try to solve the case as soon as possible. Investigation time is stressful for the employees and affects their productivity. Take help of a personal detective to quicken the investigation process.
3. Do not make any promise which you can’t keep; not even the time period. You never know how long can it take you to collect the evidences, and if you promise a specific time, you will have to do everything in hurry that might affect your decision.

4. Keep the documents and evidences carefully, so that you can use them if there are any legal proceedings.

5. You can also take help of professional detectives for better investigation especially in cities like Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. They use their expertise to solve the case.

6. Keep the transcripts of interviews safe to present in legal proceedings. Be very careful with the recording. It is better if you can also take help of a person to make notes during the meeting.

7. Be careful with ‘off the record’ comments. This get highly important when complain is against a senior level employee or any other important profit earner of the organization.

8. Don’t take any immediate action like changing the departments or giving offs. Conduct employment investigation with professional detectives in Delhi to collect evidences against the harasser. Sometimes complainant might also complain against other employee due to personal grudges.

9. Inform the employee about his suspension with proper reasons and the call back time.

By following these simple tips, you can conduct a better investigation and get more respect from the employees by giving a valid judgment.
