Misconduct can be perpetrated by or against any gender. Don't allow gender biases to influence your view when you receive an allegation. Also, action speaks louder than words. Your policy only carries the worth of your action.

Listen to Bryan tell his story about how his employer received an allegation that he had engaged in misconduct, how they conducted an investigation, and how they found that he not only did not engage in the alleged behavior, but that the allegations were made up. Unfortunately, when the investigation failed to implicate Bryan, they found another excuse to fire him, the fact he was without a permanent residence.

No matter how long you have been conducting investigations, you can still find ways to improve. Your experience is only as good as the training you received. You may sitting on a ticking time bomb of case files without even knowing it. In this episode I talk about my observations of common mistakes and failings after reviewing hundreds of cases. It's not just the other guy who needs this. You aren't as good as you think you are. 

And if you feel yourself getting angry or defensive, you are in the right place.
