Course Overview

Employers need thorough investigations to effectively address workplace behavior concerns. Having reporting channels like hotlines is just the beginning; a proper investigation provides management with the facts needed for fair decisions and shows a commitment to addressing employee issues.

Investigating and resolving allegations correctly strengthens and protects your organization. The objectives and scope of investigations can vary widely, but the overriding purpose remains the same: to uncover relevant facts. While each investigation may be unique, following standard techniques ensures a fair, transparent, and consistent process. This commitment to fairness and transparency not only strengthens your organization but also reassures all parties involved that the process is conducted with integrity.

The PEACE interview model offers a non-accusatory, information-gathering approach to investigative interviewing. It consists of five key steps: preparation and planning, engagement and explanation, account, clarification, challenge, and closure, followed by evaluation. Adopting this model helps facilitate an effective investigation and ensures the process is conducted with integrity and precision.

Key topics discussed in this Course:

  • How to properly prepare and plan for the interview. 
  • Ways to establish rapport with the interviewee to encourage a good discussion. 
  • How to elicit information through cognitive interviewing skills. 
  • How summarizing the main points at the end of the interview bolsters the evidence.

Dive into this engaging CPE course that unveils a unique five-stage process for effective investigations. Discover how to build rapport and facilitate an uninterrupted narrative from suspects before revealing any evidence of inconsistencies.
