Workplace Investigation Interviews: Balancing Accessibility and Privacy
Details
When conducting corporate investigative interviews, an interview subject sometimes makes requests that require the investigator to choose between privacy and information accessibility. The subject may request that a third party be present, or that transcripts or other documents related to the interview be shared. Whether these requests are acceptable may depend on the circumstances and the answer isn’t always clear.
