"Employee wins $15 million harassment lawsuit
after HR fumbles investigation."

Real-life headlines like this show the legal danger of making even one mistake when investigating workplace misconduct. But you've probably received little – if any – training in this crucial area of HR compliance.

Important: The coronavirus crisis doesn’t give you a free pass to avoid this responsibility … in fact, your HR investigations are more important than ever. Knowing where to draw the lines on employees’ behavior (and how to investigate it) is a crucial skill in these unique times.

That's why we created the HR Investigations Workshop. This must-attend webinar will show you what to do – and what to avoid – when conducting effective investigations into claims of harassment and other misconduct. That includes misconduct by work-from-home employees and unsupervised staff in the workplace.

Join us on Wednesday, August 19, for a webinar that is packed with tips and strategies to handle any workplace problem quickly and legally. You'll learn how to conduct investigations that achieve all of your goals in this difficult time – and will stand up in court.

In just 75 minutes, you'll receive a step-by-step game plan to handle your next investigation in the most expert way possible. You'll learn:

• How to select the right investigator
• How to proactively plan and organize each phase of the investigation
• Where to draw the line on misconduct by remote employees and people working in different roles
• How to conduct investigations if you and/or key participants are working remotely
• How to avoid the most common investigation mistakes
• Best-practice tips for interviewing witnesses so you get the whole story – and the truth
• The do's and don'ts of documenting a workplace investigation

Plus, ask YOUR questions about the structure, process and follow-through of today's unique brand of workplace investigations.

An effective workplace investigation requires demonstrating a serious commitment to resolving problems in a fair and appropriate way. Your CEO (and the court) expects you to devote the necessary attention to this important HR role – even in times of national crisis.

The HR Investigations Workshop will teach you how to avoid every kind of legally devastating mistake and create investigation practices that can save the reputation of both you and the organization.

Sincerely,

Pat DiDomenico, Editorial Director
