In the #MeToo era, internal investigations of harassment are not optional–both the courts and public opinion demand thorough, fair, and fair and impartial investigations. Both the complainant and the accused deserve no less.
I will be teaching the “Internal Investigations Certificate Program” in New York City on September 17-19 , 2018.
This intensive, three-day program is designed to provide you with a thorough grounding in internal investigations – and to arm you with the knowledge of how to properly conduct – as well as avoid – internal investigations to minimize legal liability and reduce employee complaints.
This program is packed with practical tools, tips, and techniques to improve your investigative skills – and boost your confidence in handling sensitive and complex employee issues if they do arise, including:
- The legal obligations that require employers to conduct internal investigations
- How to gather documentary and physical evidence prior to witness interviewing
- How to establish a chain of custody and a confidential retention process
- How to prepare questions for witness interviews and select appropriate interviewing locations
- A standard format for documenting investigative findings
- Best practices in handling disciplinary action and terminations to avoid stepping on legal land mines
Let’s face it: Is the time to learn how to do an internal investigation when you are suddenly faced with having to do one? Of course not!
