Investigating Employee Wrongdoing
Recent headlines show that corporate management and general counsel should have policies in place to root out potential employee wrongdoing and to do so quickly, reports JDSupra Business Business Advisor.
It is most important for companies to have clear procedures for reporting wrongdoing, JDSupra says on its website.
“No company can take steps to investigate or manage improprieties it knows nothing about. Every company should have written procedures and periodic training on internal reporting procedures. Employees should understand the personnel to whom issues should be raised, and they should be encouraged to speak up when they have concerns about malfeasance. Often, it is necessary to have both a separate department tasked with handling these concerns as well as a clear chain of command within each department,” JDSupra continues.
