Course Description:

When we think of workplace investigations, the most common thought is that of
investigating harassment complaints. However, there are so many other forms of
workplace misconduct that require investigations such as theft, safety or OSHA
issues, retaliation, vandalism, working off the clock, substance abuse, social
media violations, and violations of various company policies, as examples.
Usually, this responsibility is left to HR, and sometimes to management, and
there may be a need to determine if an outside investigator, such as law
enforcement or an IT professional, is the best person to investigate.

Conducting an investigation is both a science and an art. There is the
scientific/technical aspect of ensuring the I’s are dotted and the T’s are
crossed to minimize liability. And there is the ‘art’ of investigating in
establishing rapport with those you interview, creating a safe environment in
which to interview, and recognizing that interviewees are usually stressed
during the interview process.

As an employer, you have a duty to investigate. Employees have an obligation to
cooperate with the investigative process—but what if you have a recalcitrant
complainant, wrong-doer or witness? Documentation and writing a final report are
critical aspects of an investigation process which begins as soon as an employee
makes a complaint—do you know how to document? Do you know the critical elements
of a final report to minimize liability?

One of the first questions you, as an HR professional, need to consider is
whether the complaint requires a full-blown formal investigation or if a less
formal resolution is appropriate because the complaint is a minor policy
violation. What do you do if you need to search the employee’s desk, computer,
smartphone or locker? Other questions that need to be answered are when do you
include legal counsel? What evidence do you need to gather? This webinar will
focus on these issues by discussing best practices to ensure you are conducting
a fair and impartial investigation that will support a positive work
environment, protect employees and the organization, and decrease the risk of
liability.

Anyone who conducts an investigation must be trained in how to do so. Merely
having the experience of conducting investigations without having been taught
the art and science of the process is not enough. When your organization ensures
it is investigator is trained in how to conduct investigations, it demonstrates
its commitment to prevention of harassment to a Court or outside agency.

The webinar addresses laws that HR is responsible for upholding. When the laws
are not followed, it increases the liability for your organization and
interferes with a fair and equitable work environment for employees.
