Employee Investigations and Witness Interviews - 3 Hour Virtual Boot Camp
OVERVIEW
Employers conduct investigations for a variety of reasons;
employee or customer complaints, background checks, regulatory or audit
requirement(s), allegations of misconduct, and losses of various types. The
shared primary purpose of these investigations is the same — to find out the
facts of a situation to determine a course of action to take — or not to take.
In these investigations, employers often depend heavily upon
employee’s recollections. Most employees will do their best to be forthcoming,
and recount truthful and factual information to the best of their abilities.
Some employees will not, some going so far as to be the opposite of truthful.
An investigator needs to know how to conduct a workplace investigation and also how to write a good case report. Because just as a good
investigation defends the actions an employer took or not, the report supports
the company’s decision-making (or not).
From fact-finding to writing reports, this webinar will cover
practical tips for conducting workplace investigations and tips
for writing investigative reports.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Knowing how to conduct a workplace investigation with regard to
a complaint, an accident, or upon receipt of reports of misconduct or even with
regard to a performance situation, is one of the most critical skills every
Manager, Supervisor, small business owner and certainly, every HR
professional needs in today’s place of business.
Today’s employees are better-informed, have a heightened
awareness, and less tolerance for workplace issues that may have been
overlooked even a few short years ago. Today’s employees speak up promptly and
feel comfortable expressing their umbrage when they have a concern. When
employees have complaints, they expect their employer to be responsive,
attentive and competent in how they handle such complaints and conduct
effective workplace investigations.
This session is designed for anyone who has to conduct
investigations, fact-findings, or solve employee problems and/or disputes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Where there are people, there will be problems. Any company
regardless of size, is guaranteed that one day there will be a reported
complaint or discovered problem(s). Where there are problems, good
investigatory and fact-finding skills are crucial. Because with people being
people, every situation will be different.
When an employer receives an allegation of workplace harassment,
discrimination, other misconduct, even some types of customer complaints,
conducting an internal investigation is often a legal responsibility to limit
liability. However, whether the investigation defends the company and limits
their legal liability or blows up into an incredible, embarrassing mess (that
incurs great liability) may depend largely upon HOW the
investigation is conducted.
The quality of an investigation conducted depends largely on the
training the investigator received (or not) on the methods of conducting
effective workplace investigations.
