From time to time, an employer will need to investigate – formally or informally – concerns about an employee’s workplace behaviour. 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. This online course addresses the importance of effectively handling workplace behaviour concerns through thorough investigation.
Ensuring a robust investigation not only fortifies your organization but also equips management with vital information, creating a factual foundation for decision-making. It exemplifies fairness in the employee discipline process and showcases your dedication to understanding and addressing employee concerns.
Investigations come in various forms, each with unique objectives and scopes. Despite these differences, the primary goal is consistently finding the relevant facts. This CPE course emphasizes standardized techniques that contribute to fair, transparent, and consistent investigation practices, regardless of the unique circumstances.
