Workplace Investigations
The weakest link in most companies' discipline or grievance
processes is the investigation.
The fundamental purpose of a discipline or grievance investigation is to collect the facts. It's no more difficult than that. But while a really rigorous investigation is essential to a well conducted process, many managers simply skate over the surface and either do not collect the relevant data or fail to take a sufficiently robust approach to data collection. An inadequate investigation can cast the final outcome into doubt.
Delivered by a trainer who regularly carries out investigations into both disciplinary and grievance matters, this workshop will help delegates understand and apply investigation techniques and increase the depth and quality of their process.
Course tutor Kate Russell is an experienced HR consultant whose specialist field is the practical application of employment law. She will provide essential guidance on the legal and best practice requirements for conducting an investigation in the workplace, including how to manage the investigation and conduct a disciplinary or grievance hearing.
