COVID-19 has changed the way most companies are currently doing business, including a shift to a remote workplace for many or all of a company’s employees.  Despite the new remote work environment, workplace complaints, as well as the obligation to promptly investigate them, have not disappeared.  Plus, for many employers, the shift to remote work environments may not be temporary, or at the very least, will continue on for quite some time. 

In this recording, members of Seyfarth Shaw’s Workplace Crisis Response & Investigations practice offer practical tips and considerations when conducting remote investigations. Topics covered include:

• Advantages and Disadvantages of Conducting a Remote Investigation Interview
• Additional Preliminary Instructions Needed in a Remote Investigation Interview
• How To Build Rapport in a Video Conference
• Technical Considerations and Platforms for a Remote Investigation - Tips and Ideas
