Internal Investigations – Keeping It Legal

Every human resources professional, at some point in their career, will be called upon to conduct an internal investigation. An effective investigation can minimize future legal exposure and reduce costly claims against the company. In this session, attendees will learn how to conduct a thorough, impartial and prompt internal investigation. Through the use of a real-world complaint, attendees will have an opportunity to complete an accelerated mock investigation complete with all the twists and turns of an actual investigation. By the end of the presentation, the attendees will know how to:

establish an affirmative defense
create an investigation plan
avoid adverse employment actions
gather independent facts
make recommendations
prepare an investigation summary.
