Employers have an obligation to conduct a competent workplace investigation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Human Rights Code. Unfortunately, we are seeing many decisions from Courts outlining where employer's have fallen short of their obligations resulting in liability and increased damages. This half-day seminar will equip participants with the skills to develop a sound investigation plan, collect and organize evidence, and draft an investigation report that will stand up to scrutiny. The program is being hosted by the experts at Persaud Employment Law. Please download their free App as it will be used during the seminar to demonstrate free resources for you to use in your investigations going forward: http://persaudemploymentlaw.com/app/

This Seminar will cover:

  • Review of duty to investigate, identify when to use an external investigator and how to manage the investigator;
  • Interviewing skills and strategies
  • Making credibility assessments
  • Writing a report that will stand up to scrutiny


This seminar is hands-on and interactive and includes case studies and small group discussions.
