The end of the year means that we have reached the time when we like to look at the year in review. There is no shortage of topics to write about under the employment law, payroll, and internal controls banner. However, on the First Reference Talks blog, we’ve covered some hot topics under these banners throughout the year.
The most viewed and read blog post for 2023 was Ensuring fairness and thoroughness in workplace investigations by Belle Yuan, HR consultant, Strategywise HR. Workplace investigations have become important in recent years. A workplace investigation gives employers the opportunity to identify and correct discrimination, harassment or misconduct within the workplace before the situation escalates to litigation. Finally, a proper workplace investigation can limit exposure to adverse legal findings and costs.
