Course Overview

Conducting quality workplace investigations has never been more critical. Workers demand more from their employers and demand answers as well.

An employer occasionally needs to formally or informally investigate employee workplace behavior concerns. If your organization has a hotline and other reporting channels to give employees a way to speak up, this is only half the equation.

Investigating and resolving an allegation correctly strengthens and protects your organization. A proper investigation gives management the needed information and a factual basis for its decisions. It also reinforces the fairness of the employee discipline process and your commitment to learning about employee concerns.

The objectives and scope of investigations vary widely, but their overriding purpose is always to find relevant facts.  While each investigation may be unique and handled differently, following standard techniques can help you investigate pretty, transparently, and consistently.

This online webinar covers the following key topics:

  • The effective ways to discover problems in the workplace and address them.
  • The leading practices for interviewing the employees who raise concerns about actual or suspected misconduct.
  • The ways to issue spot and plan the investigation for an efficient and successful result.
  • The process by which an investigator can effectively evaluate the evidence.
  • The leading practices for documenting the investigation findings.

Join this CPE Course, it covers leading techniques for conducting a reasonable investigation. It can be helpful to colleagues who conduct only a few investigations each year. Participants will receive a “Rules for Investigators” infographic with valuable advice.
