When allegations involve a senior executive, the stakes couldn’t be higher — for the organization, its people, and those charged with uncovering and analyzing the evidence. Traditional investigation protocols can buckle under the weight of power imbalances, board dynamics, media attention, legal exposure, and reputational risk. And the margin for error is razor-thin — with securities obligations, fiduciary duties, regulatory reporting, public disclosure requirements, and shareholder litigation all in play. So how do HR leaders, legal counsel, and compliance professionals ensure a process that is thorough, impartial, and defensible — no matter how powerful the person in the hot seat?
Join Sue Ann Van Dermyden of VM Mastered on June 10 for a practical webinar on conducting workplace investigations when the subject is a senior executive. Participants will come away with key takeaways including:
- How to structure an independent, defensible investigation when the subject holds organizational power, and often employment contracts with special termination clauses
- Strategies for maintaining confidentiality and minimizing retaliation risk
- Common procedural pitfalls that undermine credibility and legal defensibility
- How to document findings and present conclusions to leadership and the board
Save your seat to learn how to handle high-stakes executive investigations with confidence.
