Investigating Workplace Allegations: Why It's Important

Do you really need to investigate that workplace allegation?

As seen recently in the case of Pastor Robert Morris at Gateway Church, failing to handle this question correctly can be devastating for the victim, for the organization, for the members, for everyone involved. According to recent allegations, at least some leaders at the church were told about child abuse and didn’t investigate and determine the scope of what had happened. Many years later, the misconduct resurfaced in a major scandal.

Regardless of the situation, whether at a Church or a Business, properly handling an allegation, even a historical one, is a critical part of caring for people harmed and cultivating a healthy, safe, and productive community.
