We will cover the essentials of conducting an internal investigation, including best business practices and the necessary steps for a thorough investigation. Additionally, we will discuss effective communication with involved employees and maintaining confidentiality throughout the process.

Despite an organization’s best efforts to manage employee relations and enforce policies, issues and reports will inevitably arise. These may range from unknown causes of an accident, concerns about sexual harassment or retaliation, allegations of illegal substance use by employees, to claims of favoritism by a supervisor. Each of these situations requires a sensitive and comprehensive HR investigation.

Learning Objectives:

• Review initial steps of managing employee reports and how to address timely.
• How to document properly and manage employee communications.
