The "Certificate in Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations Seminar 2020" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Do you know how to conduct a lawful workplace investigation?

The objective of an internal investigation is to discover facts on which to make a sensible and lawful decision. Done correctly, an investigation should resolve a problem and prevent it from reoccuring, whether the issue is misconduct, a performance situation, harassment, discrimination or a workplace accident

In addition to saving potentially millions of dollars in litigation costs and lost productivity, a lawfully conducted investigation can nip workplace problems in the bud; keeping businesses operating smoothly - and out of the courtroom.

Making the right decision often turns on the quality of the investigation that has been conducted. Without the facts, decision-making is flawed and can expose the employer to significant liability.

Over the course of two days, you will actively engage (through role playing) in detailed, real time investigations as the attorney-istructor guides you through the investigatory process; giving important pointers and recommendations throughout. Participants will learn how to handle complaints legally by gaining actual experience in interviewing witnesses and evaluating evidence.
