PROPOSED Enforcement Guidance on Workplace Harassment

Prompt and thorough investigations not only provide the best evidence but also enhance the credibility of both the investigator and the employer. These investigations can help organizations identify and resolve internal issues before they escalate. Since any complaint could potentially lead to a lawsuit, employers should conduct every investigation with the possibility of presenting it in court. Despite their disruptive nature, investigations must be swift, comprehensive, and effective to protect all parties involved. The EEOC advises that workplace harassment and discrimination complaints should be investigated and resolved promptly. They emphasize the need to meet various standards and regulations when handling such reports. Organizations have both legal and ethical obligations to promote diversity and adhere to equal employment opportunity laws. Despite these responsibilities, many workplaces have historically been unwelcoming to women and minorities, leading to discriminatory experiences during the hiring process or while employed.
