Workplace Investigations: What Every Employee Should Know focuses on helping employees understand how workplace investigations are carried out and what they may experience if they are involved in one.
Workplace investigations can arise from a range of situations, such as complaints of misconduct, performance improvement plans, harassment, breaches of company policies, or disputes between colleagues. When an investigation begins, employees may be asked to provide information, attend interviews, or respond to allegations. Understanding how these processes work helps employees better navigate what can often be a stressful and uncertain situation.
Join our moderator, Serene Gan (Chair, SCCA Pro Bono Chapter), together with Amarjit Kaur (Partner, Withers KhattarWong LLP) and Patrick Tay (Assistant Secretary-General, NTUC) as they explore the common circumstances that lead to workplace investigations and how employers typically conduct them. The session will also highlight key principles such as procedural fairness, the importance of following company policies and employment contracts, and how due process is expected to operate during an investigation.
Drawing from real cases, the webinar will discuss practical issues that employees may encounter during investigations. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the investigation process, the roles of different parties involved, and the considerations that may affect how investigations are conducted and concluded.
This webinar is brought to you by LawWorks – a collaboration between Pro Bono SG (PBSG) and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).
