Workplace Investigative Interviewing Strategies
The greatest asset of any organization is its people. Whether your department is called human resources, employee relations, talent management, or ethics, you will be given the responsibility of maintaining that asset. With that responsibility comes many difficult conversations. You are entrusted to handle the most personal and sensitive of cases, often including bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment, fraud, and other integrity issues with little to no evidence.
Gathering information in these circumstances comes down to your skills as an investigator and an interviewer. That information will be used to make decisions that will forever impact people’s careers and possibly even their lives.
The Workplace Investigative Interview Strategies seminar is a specially designed version of our famous Level I Investigative Interviewing Techniques course that focuses on the hardest cases that you will face as a human resources professional.
