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.
