Ethicast: Post-Investigation Best Practices

Investigations are serious business, but what happens after one concludes is just as important as the speak-up that preceded the investigation, and the investigation itself. Ethisphere’s Jodie Fredericksen and Eric Jorgenson share post-investigation best practices that help ensure equitable outcomes and support organizational justice, from addressing workplace retaliation, to discipline calibration, to when the time is right for root cause analysis.  

BELA Asks: Four Questions on Investigations Best Practices Revisited

In this episode, BELA Chair Erica Salmon Byrne revisits a series of interconnected questions around the topic of investigations, sharing her insights on how managers should respond to reports of misconduct, checking for post-investigation or post-survey retaliation, substantiating claims of retaliation, and the strategic purpose of investigation substantiation rates.  

This episode stems from the BELA concierge service, in which BELA members can submit questions regarding ethics and compliance and our internal experts will provide an answer plus helpful resources with information. And since there is no competition in compliance, we respond thematically to high-level questions in the BELA Asks series for the benefit of E&C teams everywhere.
