Conducting Internal Investigations - Legal Issues, Documenting Interviews and Policy Considerations
Instructor:
Kelly Rietow
Product ID: 703984
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
All employees need to feel valued and heard when something is amiss in the work environment. Whether or not you believe the concerns are warranted, certain steps are necessary to ensure the employee is heard, feels treated fairly and an issue is resolved. Resolution doesn’t necessarily mean resolved to the complainant’s satisfaction. Dismissing concerns leads to disgruntled employees and low morale. Sloppy investigations can lead to legal costs and claims of discrimination. This webinar will instruct participants on when to address concerns, when to launch a formal investigation, whom to involve, and how to conduct an effective investigation.
