Workplace misconduct remains an all-too-common occurrence in Canadian organizations. Bullying, harassment, and other misconduct can affect the health and well-being of workers, as well as impact absenteeism, culture, productivity, and tenure within municipalities.
All Canadian municipalities are subject to provincial or territorial legislation requiring them to investigate employee misconduct issues.
This session will explore common, real-life examples of workplace misconduct investigated by MNP.
We’ll shed light on the many types of misconduct our advisors are seeing in municipal workplaces. We’ll also discuss effective and actionable steps leaders can take to identify and address misconduct, remedy the issue, and prevent future incidences from happening.
- Common types of misconduct and red flags
- Case study: How MNP uncovered a payroll/procurement fraud scheme
- Identifying misconduct: Whistleblower hotlines and other reporting mechanisms
