DescriptionLocation This course provides a complete process for conducting workplace investigations, helping HR practitioners determine when to investigate, gather and preserve evidence, conduct effective interviews, assess credibility, and reach findings using the preponderance-of-evidence standard. Participants will learn how to manage complaints involving harassment, discrimination, retaliation, misconduct, safety concerns, and workplace violence while maintaining neutrality, confidentiality, and procedural fairness. The course also addresses emerging challenges in digital investigations, including the verification of text messages, emails, social media content, images, audio, video, and AI-generated evidence.
