Workplace investigations can feel scary and intimidating. Employees often know terms like “harassment” or “hostile” without knowing what it means, or the complex legal requirements or implications. This makes workplace investigations one of the highest-risk responsibilities HR professionals face. Done well, an investigation can protect the organization and build trust. Done poorly, it creates legal exposure, damages morale, and erodes credibility. This session provides a clear, practical framework for conducting workplace investigations from allegation to resolution. Attendees will learn how to assess complaints, plan investigations, gather facts effectively, document findings, and communicate outcomes while maintaining consistency and fairness. The presentation focuses on real-world challenges HR professionals face, including incomplete complaints, emotional employees, management pressure, and regulatory expectations.
Participants will leave with a repeatable investigation roadmap, practical tools, and clear guidance they can apply immediately to their organization.
