We will discuss issues such as ethical responsibilities, investigating high profile cases, lack of cooperation, privilege and confidentiality, disappearing evidence, professionalism, report organization, executive summaries, drawing conclusions and more.
Those attending will gain insight into handling high-profile investigations, as well as into allegations that don’t quite rise to the level of harassment and allegations that are well beyond the statute of limitations (and perhaps outside of the strict employment context).
Workplace investigators should always be concerned about their safety when conducting investigations. This webinar should make you safer and may even save your life.
Internal and external investigators have different challenges. This program will discuss some of these challenges, including the weaknesses both types of investigators---as expert witnesses---might highlight in the other’s investigations and how to anticipate and avoid those arguments.
Come learn from an experienced attorney investigator how to effectively assess credibility using factors such as plausibility, prior record, corroboration, consistency or motive.
Internal workplace harassment investigations are commonly conducted by a company representative, such as from within the Human Resources department or other competent investigators. A different approach includes having a union representative co-investigate the complaint, which can often alleviate difficult conversations and a grievance about the findings after the fact.
Whether you are an internal or external investigator, this webinar will provide insight on how to incorporate principles of a trauma-informed approach into your investigative practices.
