Program
All workplace parties have an interest in ensuring that workplace investigations are conducted properly. Employers may face legal liability for workplace investigations that are improperly conducted. Employees subjected to investigation may find their jobs on the line. Unions must ensure that their members’ rights are protected. This program will prepare employer and union representatives to effectively represent the interests of their constituencies throughout the investigation process, from the filing of the complaint to post-investigation review of the report.
Over the course of four virtual sessions combining lectures, case studies, and interactive exercises, participants will learn to:
- Apply applicable law and policy
- Determine when an external investigator is required
- Identify the necessary steps in an investigation
- Ensure procedural fairness
- Be mindful of implicit bias
- Appreciate the role rules of evidence play in making findings
- Address issues of confidentiality and privilege
- Review investigation reports
- Take appropriate action post-investigation
