2015 - Webinar On Internal Investigations Documentation

Description :
Documentation is a key part of any investigation. Gathered, stored and used properly, good documentation ? timely, factual, thorough, accurate and objective; can be beneficial in supporting employment decisions, and if need be, even supporting terminations.
It is often hard to know how to start gathering the documentation and evidence needed to investigate even a seemingly straightforward workplace problem, let alone when faced with a complicated situation. Other times, it is hard to know what to do with the surprising blizzard of information an uncomplicated investigation can generate. However, it is crucial the investigator knows how to proceed as even the simplest seeming of problems can blow up into big problems for an employer.
Anyone who performs workplace investigations also needs to be able to write their findings in a report such that it becomes a factual written presentation of the information discovered in their investigation.
Good investigative reports inform the reader to not only justify the employer’s decision making, but also demonstrating they did what a responsible employer acting in good faith would do, and if founded, took steps to rectify applicable conduct.
This webinar will cover best practices in documentation processes and procedures for internal employment investigations. How to begin (and end) your investigations with a sound methodology for investigations that support your employment decisions and documents them as such. How to use methods and documentation that demonstrate the employer as logical, objective, competent, and thorough.
Also, learn how to write a factual, solid, representative report of an internal investigation that will withstand scrutiny and provide appropriate information to decision makers.
