In the wake of the latest Jian Ghomesh trial, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation says it has implemented "a revised HR process for recording
complaints of bullying and sexual harassment, the establishment of an
harassment helpline and new training for its managers and staff." [1]
The CBC came in for some heavy criticism of their internal investigation
processes: "[CBC] retained a lawyer, with whom it had had a previous
relationship, to conduct its 'investigation.' And who ran that
investigation? The CBC's own legal and human resource departments -- the
very ones who should have been the subject of the investigation." The
staff was warned that any statements they made during the investigation
could be used against them and the employees' union advised the staff not
to participate. [2]
For those who like the TL;DR version, the CBC description of its
investigation, with links to the text of the full report: [3]
FWIW, although the recent WMF harassment survey was an in-house project
(and no one questions its integrity), [4] the WMF apparently does hire an
outside firm to develop trust with its staff. [5]
