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:
