Pre Requisite: This program is for HR professionals and other internal workplace investigators who have already completed the Workplace Investigations Training and Certificate Program or an equivalent.
Completing a workplace investigation is only half the job—how you document and communicate your findings is just as important. Investigation reports serve as critical decision-making tools for internal stakeholders and can face scrutiny from unions, arbitrators, and the courts. A poorly written report can weaken a case, while a well-structured, clear, concise, and legally sound report strengthens credibility and ensures transparency. This advanced workshop equips HR professionals and workplace investigators with the tools and insights needed to write effective, well-organized, and defensible investigation reports. Learn how to streamline the process, assess credibility, and craft compelling reports that tell a clear and structured story.
