Investigations: Process, Roles, and Fairness

Investigations begin with intake and fact gathering. Investigators assess credibility, collect evidence, and determine if policy violations occurred while safeguarding privacy.

Key roles include HR or compliance leads, the target, witnesses, and the alleged offender. Interviews are conducted respectfully, with clear timelines and documentation.

Fairness requires a thorough, unbiased review, appropriate remedies, and clear communication of outcomes. Privacy protections apply to all parties within legal boundaries.
