Learning Objective

  • To identify the principles upon which an organization’s process for handling accusations of employee misconduct is based.
  • To know how procedural justice applies to every workplace investigation.
  • To explain the rights and obligations of each of the employees who participate in an investigation.
  • To explore how the employer’s duty of care applies to a workplace investigation

Course Overview

Periodically, employers find themselves delving into the realm of workplace investigations – whether through a formal inquiry or a more casual exploration of concerns surrounding an employee's behavior. But hold on, if your organization boasts a hotline and various reporting channels for employees to voice their thoughts, that's just the first piece 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.

Mastering the art of investigating and resolving allegations isn't just about checking 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 the necessary facts for crucial 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.

This online webinar covers the following key topics:

  • The ten principles of an effective allegation handling process upon which the workplace investigation is based.
  • The concept of natural justice and how it applies to the implicated employee in a workplace investigation.
  • The objectives and goals of a workplace investigation and how the investigation serves the organization’s needs.
  • An employer’s duty of care.

Join this CPE Specialized Knowledge webinar where each participant will walk away with an infographic, a guide to the principles of an effective allegation-handling process. Get ready to dive into the world of workplace investigations!
