Workplace Investigations
Our experienced employment attorneys are trained to conduct prompt, thorough, and impartial workplace investigations and produce professional investigative reports involving complaints of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other workplace misconduct and policy violations. Employers have a legal obligation to investigate complaints of harassing, discriminatory, and retaliatory conduct in the workplace and take effective remedial action to correct the behavior. To be effective, investigations and findings should be impartial and professional. As experienced employment attorneys and trained independent investigators, we understand what’s at stake for your business. Our thorough and objective investigations and investigative reports can help reduce your exposure to legal damages while improving employee morale and retention so that you can get back to work.
Workplace Training
Our experienced employment attorneys are trained to deliver thorough, interactive, and dynamic training to put your company’s policies into action and to prevent discrimination, harassment, and other problems in the workplace. Massachusetts’ law strongly encourages employers to conduct education and training programs on sexual harassment for all employees on a regular basis and train managers and supervisors as to their specific responsibilities and the steps they should take to ensure immediate and corrective action in response to a complaint. Additionally, employers may be legally responsible for the acts of supervisors and managers, and proper education and training can limit exposure to such claims. At Cohen Kraemer Law, we will work with you to customize training modules based on your company’s needs, best practices, and applicable state and federal laws relating to hiring, performance management, accommodations, promotion, termination, and other situations prone to claims of harassment and discrimination. Our unique team-oriented approach to training sets the stage for a dynamic learning environment where your employees can gain valuable information and insight through interactive activities and real world case studies and scenarios.
Policy Development
Now more than ever, it is important to outline for employees what behavior is acceptable in the workplace and what steps they can take to thrive at your company. That’s why our policy development process starts with your core values and unique business culture. Our experienced employment attorneys understand how important your values and culture are to your company and will work with you to develop customized policies that reflect those values and comply with applicable state and federal laws.
