Workplace Harassment and Other Misconducts

Regrettably, workplace harassment (including sexual harassment, power harassment, and harassment related to parenting or caregiving) remains a deeply entrenched issue in our society. Companies must comply with legal obligations by maintaining appropriate mechanisms to address harassment, such as implementing a harassment prevention policy, familiarizing employees with the consultation process, and taking prompt action against suspected harassment. Both the wrongdoer as well as the company may be held liable for harassment issues. The company’s reputation and general working environment could also be severely compromised. With the whistleblowing system becoming more prevalent, the number of reports of other workplace misconduct has been increasing over the years. Our firm provides advice and support on all aspects of issues related to harassment and other misconducts, including conducting investigations, certifying and analyzing the facts from a legal perspective, and reviewing personnel policies. We also provide comprehensive guidance on managing whistleblowing matters and host seminars for our clients to study and actively prevent harassment in the workplace.
