Course Overview

Occasionally, employers find themselves navigating the intricacies of workplace investigations, whether through formal scrutiny or a more casual exploration of concerns surrounding an employee's behavior. If your organization boasts a hotline and various reporting channels for employees to voice their thoughts, that's merely the initial segment of the puzzle.

The crux lies in the other half of the equation – delving into and, when necessary, thoroughly investigating allegations once they've surfaced.

Mastery of the art of investigating and resolving allegations isn't merely about ticking boxes; it's about fortifying and safeguarding your organization. A well-executed investigation isn't just a data dump for management; it's the cornerstone, providing essential facts for pivotal decision-making moments. It's the superhero cape for the fairness of the employee discipline process, showcasing your unwavering commitment to understanding and addressing employee concerns.

Sure, investigations come in various shapes and sizes, each with its unique flavor. However, adhering to tried-and-true techniques can elevate your investigative game to a fair, transparent, and consistently effective level.

  • The qualities of a good workplace investigator.
  • The ethical obligations of a workplace investigator.
  • The four parts of an investigator’s integrity.
  • The factors that make a workplace investigation ethical.
