Dublin, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Certificate in Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations Seminar" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Do you know how to conduct a lawful workplace investigation?
In addition to saving potentially millions of dollars in litigation costs and lost productivity, a lawfully conducted investigation can nip workplace problems in the bud; keeping businesses operating smoothly-and out of the courtroom.
Making the right decision often turns on the quality of the investigation that has been conducted. Without the facts, decision-making is flawed and can expose the employer to significant liability.
Over the course of two days, you will actively engage (through role-playing) in detailed, "real-time" investigations as the attorney-instructor guides you through the investigatory process; giving important pointers and recommendations throughout. Participants will learn how to handle complaints legally by gaining actual experience in interviewing witnesses and evaluating evidence.
