Understanding Workplace Investigations: Preliminary Assessment Essentials 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
From time to time, an employer will need to investigate – formally or informally – concerns about an employee’s workplace behavior. If your organization has a hotline and other reporting channels to give employees a way to speak up, this is only half of the equation.
The other half is thoroughly addressing – and when necessary, fully investigating – allegations once they have been reported.
Investigating and resolving an allegation correctly strengthens and protects your organization. A proper investigation gives management needed information and a factual basis on which to make its decisions. It also reinforces both 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 out the relevant facts. Each investigation may be unique and handled differently, following standard techniques can help you investigate in a fair, transparent, and consistent manner.
Join this CPE Specialized Knowledge webinar it explains the process by which an investigator identifies the issues, determines whether the issues should become allegations, and chooses the best resolution strategy. Each participant will receive an infographic describing the cascading steps from describing the concerns to formulating an allegation.

Pretty good basic introduction to initial assessment for investigations. This was an area that I was not familiar with and I feel I gained a good understanding of at least the basics.
KWW
this is not the field I work on, so I enjoy what the video taught me, it is clearly explained so I can understand it clearly.
