Certificate In Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations in the US Seminar: Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, Safety Concerns, Medical Issues - Las Vegas, NV, United States - October 7-8, 2024 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Certificate In Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations Seminar" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Do you know how to conduct a lawful workplace investigation?

In addition to saving potentially millions of dollars in litigation costs and lost productivity, a lawfully conducted investigation can nip workplace problems in the bud; keeping businesses operating smoothly-and out of the courtroom.

Making the right decision often turns on the quality of the investigation that has been conducted. Without the facts, decision-making is flawed and can expose the employer to significant liability.

Over the course of two days, you will actively engage (through role-playing) in detailed, "real-time" investigations as the attorney-instructor guides you through the investigatory process; giving important pointers and recommendations throughout. Participants will learn how to handle complaints legally by gaining actual experience in interviewing witnesses and evaluating evidence.

Seminar topics include:

How you will benefit:

  • Learn step-by-step guidelines for investigating any complaint
  • Be proactive and avoid the legal pitfalls of investigations
  • Know what steps to take to minimize your liability
  • Understand what sexual harassment is-and what it isn't
  • Get a realistic view of the timing of investigations
  • Get beneficial advice on handling evidence
  • Keep your work force running smoothly during and after an investigation

  • How to recognize workplace situations that require an investigation
  • How to develop an investigation plan
  • How to collect and record evidence
  • The rights of the parties involved in an investigation
  • How to identify and interview the plaintiff, witnesses and the respondent
  • How to assemble statements and write a thorough and defensible report
