Learning Objective

  • Discuss the ethical components of an investigation.
  • Explain the elements of procedural justice.
  • Identify each of an investigator’s duties when conducting a workplace investigation.
  • Review the entitlements and responsibilities of both the employee under investigation, as well as the employee who made the complaint regarding actual or suspected misconduct

Course Overview

In every organization, the need for investigating workplace behavior arises occasionally, whether through formal or informal means. Simply having reporting channels in place isn't sufficient; the other crucial aspect is diligently addressing and investigating reported allegations.

A well-conducted investigation not only fortifies the organization but also provides management with vital insights for decision-making. It underscores the fairness of disciplinary processes and reaffirms the organization's dedication to addressing employee concerns.

While the objectives and scale of investigations may differ, their fundamental aim remains consistent: to unearth pertinent facts. Adhering to standard investigative techniques ensures fairness, transparency, and consistency throughout the process.

This Course delves into the principles of procedural justice, emphasizing ethical conduct in workplace investigations. Participants will explore values, fundamentals, and best practices, culminating in the dissemination of an infographic outlining the "Rules for Investigators," offering practical guidance for ethical investigation practices. By embracing these standards, organizations can navigate workplace investigations with integrity and uphold their commitment to ethical conduct.

This online webinar covers the following key topics:

  • The components of an ethical investigation.
  • The elements of procedural justice that exist in an ethical investigation.
  • The duties of an investigator when conducting an ethical investigation.
  • The entitlements and responsibilities of both the employee under investigation, as well as the employee who made the complaint regarding actual or suspected misconduct.

Join this CPE Course and understand the importance of ethical conduct in workplace investigations and its impact on organizational integrity.
