Workplace investigators should always be concerned about their safety when conducting investigations. This webinar should make you safer and may even save your life.
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).
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.
The focus of this webinar is to provide information on the investigative framework required to gather the information relevant to making a determination of the future risk of physical violence that an individual may pose.
The speakers will review common pitfalls and challenges faced when conducting investigations from the perspective of both external and internal investigators. The panelists will share unexpected issues they have encountered and what strategies they employed to ensure that the investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with AWI Guiding Principles and standard workplace investigation practices.
Attendees will learn how to manage common pitfalls and issues that may disrupt an independent investigation.
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.
This webinar takes an in-depth look at key legal issues for workplace investigators who undertake inquiries into allegations of sexual harassment.
