    How to Conduct an Internal Investigation: A Hands-On Workshop for HR Leaders

    Coming to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: Friday, September 13, 2013

    Coming to Chicago, Illinois: Thursday, October 10, 2013

    An employee complains of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or worse: you hear a rumor about workplace misconduct… company property goes missing… you face a “she said vs. he said” conundrum … an employee is gaming FMLA intermittent leave… another is disparaging your company on her Facebook page…

    Situations that demand an inquiry, report, and response from HR arise all the time. But where do you start? What questions get to the truth, fast, and which ones can create a legal crisis? And how can you turn answers into action, and put the situation to rest once and for all?

    Join your colleagues for a one day learning and networking event and get the very latest techniques for conducting a comprehensive workplace investigation that’s safe, effective, fair, and defensible. You’ll learn how to:

    • Intake an employee complaint
    • Execute an internal investigation strategy
    • Conduct witness interviews
    • Draft an investigative report that wins support from other key leaders
    • Avoid legal danger zones before, during, and after your investigation
    • Reach defensible conclusions and take appropriate action
