An article from our archives that's still chock full of evergreen wisdom ...An often neglected but always relevant topic for HR professionals is handling the myriad issues that arise after an investigation is concluded. Among these issues are implementing discipline productively, handling bureaucracy and internal politics, dealing with emotional employees, maintaining confidentiality, avoiding retaliation and boosting employee morale so that the employees can collect themselves and refocus on work. #investigation #aftermath #HR #employmentlaw #retaliation #morale

Lowe’s and Ford became the latest large companies to reverse 2020-era diversity efforts because of the conservative backlash and changing political environment. Lowe's shared that it was reviewing its DEI policies following the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision in a memo to employees. Similarly, Ford shared revisions with its employees. In its letter, Ford said it evolved its Employee Resource Groups to focus on "networking, mentorship, personal and professional development, and community service," with all groups open to everyone. Ford will stop participating with the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and “best places to work lists.” #Lowes #Ford #DEI #diversity #ERG

EPS investigators provide prompt, impartial, and thorough investigations not only for all types of employment related issues, but also for other concerns that arise in colleges and universities including requirements under Titles VI and IX, the federal statutes prohibiting certain types of discrimination in institutions receiving financial assistance. Also, our Higher Education consulting services are designed to help educational institutions build and enhance their own investigation departments (whether specific to Title IX compliance or broad-based), ensuring they are fully equipped to handle investigations with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. #highered #investigation #consulting #Title IX #TitleIX

A Washington Post piece asserts 70 and 80-year-olds won’t leave the workplace, while Yahoo! Finance shared an article about how unprepared Gen X is for retirement. Both pieces show why many recent college graduates are struggling to find work. #GenZ #boomers #retirement #employment #silversquatters

Fifteen co-workers headed out to an office retreat in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. One male hiker became separated from all of the groups. He reached the summit at 11:30 a.m. but became disoriented as he tried to head back down. At dusk, two co-workers went to look for their lost companion, who was still not back. They could not find him. At 9:00 p.m., search teams initiated drones and helicopters to look for him. Because of the storm, they were unable to find him. While nine agencies coordinated a search, the man's cell phone allowed him to reach out the following morning. Search teams rescued him from a gully, and he reported falling at least 20 times trying to come down the mountain. The man was briefly hospitalized but is now at home. #offsite #mountainclimb #employee #retreat

We've rounded up five articles that illustrate best practices in investigations and are the foundation of our new, public, on-demand courses. We have taken our 25+ years of investigation experience - literally 1000's of investigations conducted - and distilled those experiences into two courses designed to build the fundamental skills of human resources investigators. Each course is HRCI and SHRM certified for one-hour PDC, is highly interactive, and allows the learner to move through the course at a pace that is conducive for them and at a place and time of their choosing. #workplace #investigation #training #public #ondemand #HRCI #SHRM #approved #PDC
