Locked On Investigations provides a number of resources and experiences to assist during an EEOC investigation. These include:
- Surveillance: Conducting boots on the ground surveillance, can provide critical information on possible motives, legitimacy/ill-legitimacy of allegation, or if there are other actors involved.
- Interviews: Utilizing either the Reid Technique or the Wicklander-Zulawski Technique or other Non-Confrontational Interviewing techniques to discover in greater depth the extent of the situation.
- Documentation: Gathering and examining documents both within the company and outside the company in order to understand and explain with certainty the elements of the situation. These documents may include emails, text messages, social media posts, and records from previous employers.
- Report: At the conclusion of the investigation, we will draft a comprehensive report that summarizes our findings. This will enable the company to determine if discrimination and/or harassment did occur and if so, implement corrective actions and speak from a position of knowledge when addressing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It will further enable the company to retain an attorney who will have reliable information to represent the interest of the company.
What Are The Benefits of Hiring Locked On Investigations for an EEOC Investigation?
When an employee files a complaint for workplace discrimination or harassment, it is critical that the employer conducts a thorough investigation. However, with the sensitive nature of an Equal Employment Opportunity investigation, company staff may not have the experience or resources to render a nonbiased evidentiary report. Additionally, company staff investigating may be viewed as intimidating or weak to the employees being interviewed resulting in potential unforeseen consequences. Realizing this many companies will initiate an investigative process by hiring a private investigator specifically for the EEOC investigation.
Why Hire Us?
There are multiple reasons to hire us to conduct your internal EEOC investigation, but we like to keep things simple and we use the acronym ICE to highlight the greater benefits of hiring us for this process.
- Impartial: We are not affiliated with the company. We can offer an impartial and objective view on the situation. Additionally, should the investigation result in litigation testimony of an independent third-party will be beneficial.
- Confidential: Holding to a strong ethical standard, absolute confidentiality is required. Loose Lips Sink Ships, as they say. It is critical to keep everything confidential and let the evidence direct the investigation and upon its conclusion discuss the totality of the evidence.
- Experience: We have the experience to conduct these highly sensitive investigations and provide you with a professional and comprehensive report clearly detailing each element of the situation.
In today’s litigious society, we actually recommend a preemptive investigation to address concerns prior to a situation, but we understand that not every company can do this. Therefore, we highly recommend that if a complaint is ever filed against you or your company, you will want to refrain from speaking directly with the accuser, consult with an attorney, and hire us to begin the process of controlling the outcome of an EEOC Investigation.
