Our experienced panel will discuss how they navigate the new normal of workplace investigations in a world of stay-at-home orders, social distancing and mask requirements. The discussion will focus on how to optimize effectiveness and defensibility when in-person interviews are not an easy option or are not an option at all. Topics will include:
- Technology considerations, including witness access and comfort, assessing witness credibility and presenting exhibits
- Note-taking vs. videotaping
- Who should be “in the room”
- When/whether live interviews may be the best/only option
