What key legal issues and risks should you consider during an investigation, including legislation, commercial impacts, and whistleblowing protections?
Workplace investigations are essential for evaluating and managing serious allegations such as fraud, corruption, safety and welfare, discrimination, and harassment. Increasingly, these allegations are made anonymously via whistleblower complaints. It is crucial that any workplace investigation adheres to the principles of procedural fairness and legislative requirements, particularly for serious allegations, to withstand external audits and scrutiny. Mishandling investigations can lead to significant reputational and commercial liabilities, including administrative, civil, or even criminal penalties.
In this complimentary webinar, co-hosted by Al Tamimi & Company and Thomson Reuters, we will explore key legal, practical, and best practice considerations for conducting and managing workplace investigations in the UAE (excluding the DIFC and ADGM freezones) and the KSA. This session will help employers understand how to effectively investigate, navigate common pitfalls, and address unique challenges to minimize legal and litigation risks.
