To prevent employment lawsuits, an employer should give the employees a forum for complaints.  Employers may also outsourced jobs or engaged in independent contractor versus full time direct hire relationships.  For employers who want to terminate employees for not being good workers, they should document the employees’ actions.  Companies may start to use third parties to investigation employment claims/complaints by engaging the third parties for interviews, fact finding, but in the relationships the employers may not stay neutral because they pay for the third parties.

Many employers do not ever engage in employment lawsuits because they treat their employees well, or they settle employment claims.  Settlements are remedies for individuals, not society.  When parties sign releases, the courts unlikely tear up the contracts, unless the circumstances of signing were egregious.
