When you receive a complaint of harassment, discrimination or retaliation based on a legally protected class, California law requires that you conduct a prompt, thorough and impartial investigation. In addition, it’s a best practice to investigate other types of workplace misconduct because conducting proper investigations is not only necessary to comply with legal requirements; it also ensures you establish a solid basis for policy violations and disciplinary actions.

A proper workplace investigation involves more than just asking a few questions. Investigations require careful planning and diligent execution to ensure they are effective.
