Most Canadian jurisdictions have now enacted legislation that requires employers to implement anti-harassment and anti-violence policies. Employers must also initiate investigations into allegations of workplace harassment and violence. While some complex investigations may require third-party investigators, many complaints can be investigated internally. However, Canadian courts have made it clear that internal processes must meet a reasonable standard of a fair and thorough investigation.
Employers have a legal obligation to ensure that staff investigators have both skills and training in the investigation field. In response to concerns expressed by Human Resources professionals, Infopowered Solutions Inc. has constructed an engaging, hands-on training program for internal investigators.
This 2-day seminar does more than simply review standard investigation procedures and case studies; it examines the legal pitfalls of workplace investigations and deconstructs investigation processes and techniques from both the legal and behavioural sciences perspectives to equip participants with useable investigation skills and tactics.
