Training and Sensitisation Session Calendar

When workplace infractions occur, especially where an organizational response is required – such as disciplinary action – the conduct of an effective and legally sound investigation is a vital component to this response. In fact, your organization’s defense against litigation is only as strong as your investigation - and whether you are a line manager, supervisor, HR professional or business owner, you may have a role in this process.

This practical session will go through the steps involved in conducting a successful, fair and legally defensible workplace investigation as well as the essentials of writing the subsequent report. 

• What circumstances warrant an investigation?
• Why conduct an internal investigation?
• Principles of natural justice
• The right to a fair investigation
• The rule against bias
• Understanding the difference between an investigation and discipline
• Conducting an investigation in a remote environment: Important factors to consider

• Who conducts the investigation and writes the report? To whom is it submitted?
• Tense and terminology of the report
• Uniformity in the report
• Submitting the report for action and follow-up
