Cheryl Otto is the Founder & CEO of OOPS \\u2013 Ounce of Prevention Solutions and WIN - the Workplace Investigator Network. She is a happily retired lawyer and an industry expert in Canada in the art of workplace investigations.\\xa0

Over her 25-year career, she\\u2019s conducted 100\\u2019s of workplace investigations, consulted on numerous high-profile cases, and has trained over 1000 investigators. And she's a leading expert on the topic of creating respectful workplaces.

Together, we tackled a challenging topic - workplace investigations. Challenging because the topic can be quite controversial. The truth is the majority of people involved in investigations don't have a great experience. They\\u2019re not particularly pleasant. And whether you\\u2019re a complainant, witness or respondent - investigations can strain relationships. All the more reason to ensure they\\u2019re conducted fairly and with respect.\\xa0

And so in our time together, Cheryl and I tackle a number of subjects: how you address complaints regarding high-performing or senior employees; how to identify and overcome bias. And the importance of ensuring humanity in the investigative process.\\xa0

Whether we like it, or not, investigations occur in every organization. While most of us come to work with the best of intentions, things don't always go as planned. So we need to create a safe space for people to bring forward their concerns to realize inclusive, respectful, diverse workplaces, where everyone can feel welcome, supported and ultimately safe.
