Internal Investigations Certificate Program

What is this program about?

When you receive an allegation of workplace harassment or discrimination – or you have received a potential Ethics violation – taking prompt action is your employer responsibility.

 

But let’s face it: most HR, Employee Relations’, Ethics and Compliance professionals – as well as business owners – have never had any formal training in how to properly conduct an internal investigation. And without having the appropriate skills in how to handle allegations in the workplace, and investigate them effectively, employees may feel their complaints are not taken seriously internally.

What will you learn?
