Rebecca Speer

Founder, Speer Associates

A sought-after workplace investigator, employment attorney, and expert, Rebecca Speer has spent a career helping leading organizations create respectful and equitable workplaces through the effective prevention, investigation, and resolution of employee misconduct and internal complaints. With over thirty years of legal and investigative experience, Rebecca has worked with Fortune 100 and 500 companies across industries, venture-backed growth companies, and with professional firms, world-renowned universities, and public entities.

With a focus on concerns affecting senior and executive management, Rebecca has conducted hundreds of workplace investigations, assisting top employers with their most sensitive and complex employee issues. She has testified about her investigations, served as an expert witness, and spoken widely about workplace investigations and employee relations practices more generally.

Rebecca is passionate about ethical leadership and has long pioneered novel approaches to both old and emerging problems. Propelled by a growing awareness of workplace violence after experiencing a mass office shooting early in her career, she evangelized a programmatic approach for preventing workplace violence. She brought those methods to major companies, testified before Congress, and chaired a national committee that developed an ANSI-approved Standard for Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention.

Rebecca is a graduate of Stanford University and the Santa Clara University School of Law. She dedicates herself to working with leaders who share the ethos that an organization's efforts to address workplace misconduct -- and its success in instilling values of accountability, fairness, transparency, and integrity -- indelibly drive organizational culture.
