Mary Porjes
Porjes Walsh
Through illustrations based on actual situations, learn how one experienced investigator has addressed some of the issues that commonly arise in sensitive matters of this kind. You’ll also gain an appreciation of the standards of procedural fairness that apply to harassment investigations. Some of the real-life case studies that will be discussed involve:
- Complaints that span incidents occurring over many years
- Complaints that involve multiple complainants
- New complaints that come forward in the course of the investigation
- Issues that arise when one or more of the parties or witnesses are senior managers
- Assessing credibility when there are no other witnesses
- Addressing confidentiality leaks
- Criminal activity and overlapping investigations
