Description:

When the time comes to handle a touchy employee issue…who do they call?? HR. But is HR properly trained?
Let's face it: most HR professionals have never had formal training in how to conduct investigations. Is the time to learn when suddenly faced with having to do an investigation?
Without acquiring the proper skills in how to handle allegations in the workplace — and investigate them effectively — employees may feel their complaints are not taken seriously internally.
Therefore, they take their complaints externally — to the EEOC, DOL, or to their attorney. Therefore, this is a must-attend audio conference for HR professionals that are responsible for employee relations.
Learning Objectives:- Learn the basics of how to gather a statement of complaint, identify witnesses, gather evidence, conduct witness interviews, and document investigative findings.
- Identify the most common types of internal investigations
- Learn the legal obligations that require employers to conduct internal investigations
- Learn how to gather documentary and physical evidence prior to witness interviewing
- Learn how to establish a chain of custody and a confidential retention process
- Understand how to prepare questions for witness interviews and select appropriate interviewing locations
- Analyze physical, documentary, and testimonial evidence to identify policies and/or laws that have been violated
- Learn a standard format for documenting investigative findings
- Learn best practices in handling disciplinary action and terminations to avoid stepping on legal land mines

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
