  • Investigating allegations of human rights violations in the workplace requires a commitment to understanding best practices, including adopting a trauma-informed approach. Drawing on recent caselaw and best practices, experts will offer insights into conducting or overseeing workplace investigations. Panelists will address the following questions:
  • What is a trauma-informed approach? What steps can investigators take to ensure workplace human rights investigations are trauma-informed?
  • What measures should employers, investigators and unions implement to safeguard the mental well-being of participants during a workplace investigation?
  • In what circumstances is hiring an external investigator to be preferred over an internal investigation? How can the parties strike a balance between thoroughness and urgency during investigations?
  • What information can or must be shared with a complainant or respondent once an investigation is complete? How should employers communicate investigation results to complainants in a trauma-informed manner?
  • What are the goals of workplace restoration after an investigation? Are restorative processes necessary even if an investigator finds that no misconduct occurred?
  • What does an effective workplace restoration plan entail? What is the union’s role in workplace restoration?
  • How should employers and unions address allegations or findings of a “poisoned work environment” or systemic issues in the workplace?
