The Lakes Area Human Resources Association is hosting a networking event, Getting HR Investigations Right, Thursday, Feb. 11.
The program is 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and may be attended in person at Prairie Bay Grill & Catering in Baxter or via Zoom.
The session notes one of human resources core functions is investigating employee misconduct. “So, what’s the best way to conduct an investigation? How do we determine who to interview? What technology should we review? Can we tell people to keep quiet about an investigation? Hear from an experienced investigator on what makes a good investigation, when to find someone else to do the investigation, and what to do after an investigation,” the association reported in a news release.

She has been recognized by The New York Times, CNN.com, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fast Company, National Public Radio, and other journalistic sources as a leading authority on harassment, technology in the workplace, and employment law.
