The Manager's Role in Workplace Investigations 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
From time to time, employers must address concerns about an employee’s workplace behavior through formal or informal investigations. Having a hotline or other reporting channels in place is an essential first step in empowering employees to voice their concerns—but it’s only half the equation.
The other half involves thoroughly addressing and, when necessary, fully investigating allegations to ensure a fair resolution. Properly conducted investigations not only strengthen and protect your organization but also provide management with the critical facts needed to make informed decisions. They reinforce the fairness of disciplinary actions and demonstrate your commitment to understanding and addressing employee concerns.
While the objectives and scope of investigations can vary widely, the ultimate goal remains the same: uncover the relevant facts. Each investigation is unique, but adhering to proven techniques ensures the process is conducted in a fair, transparent, and consistent manner.
Major Topics:
This course dives into the fundamentals of advising management and contributing to effective resolutions. It also explores the critical roles managers play—whether they’re directly receiving a complaint, managing a subordinate implicated in the issue, or being investigated themselves. Participants will also receive a handy infographic, "Rules for Investigators," packed with practical advice to guide successful investigations.
