2018 - Workplace Investigations: Writing Solid, Objective, Professional and Effective Investigative Reports

OVERVIEW
There is a multitude of laws and situations that require employers perform internal investigations to uncover facts and demonstrate they’ve met compliance obligations. A good HR investigation report factually represents all facets of such an investigation and shows an employer took appropriate investigatory steps and made good decisions based on the information they discovered.
Investigative report writing’s purpose is to report investigatory findings to its reader. Without a good investigatory report, it may be difficult to show a quality investigation took place even if it did! Even worse, from a bad report, poor decisions can be made based on its faulty representation of information.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Anyone who performs workplace investigations needs to be able to write their findings in a report such that it becomes a written presentation of the information discovered in their investigation.
It’s imperative the report that is used to document and communicate information to its readers be of as high a quality as the investigation itself. Because without a high quality investigatory report it can be hard to demonstrate the employer was taking appropriate investigatory steps or made factual decisions, even if in fact they did!

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Learn how to write a factual, solid, representative report of an internal investigation that will withstand scrutiny and provide appropriate information to decision makers.
Since reports are often read by adversaries as well as not only internally within the organization, it’s important that reports as an overview of the investigation show a logical factual representation of actions and decisions. Good investigative report writing aims at informing 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.
