Overview of the webinar

When conducting an investigation, the human resource professional wears many hats - the goal is to get to the truth. Once the truth is known, the human resource professional must apply the facts to company policies and determine appropriate discipline. This is the number 1 rule:  enforce company policy. Then there comes number 2: put the company in the best position possible should litigation arise. It is no easy task - particularly when a plaintiff’s attorney will do everything possible to pick apart what you should or should not have done and pick apart your documentation.  And, this is all at the same time that employees may be lying to you in an effort to avoid disciplinary action or termination. This webinar will give you some time honored procedures to get to the truth, enforce your company’s policies and protect your company.

Why should you attend?

Working in human resources is hard work! In addition to being the sounding board of employee complaints, the human resource professional must ensure that company policy and the law are being followed. How the human resource professional investigates employee issues can make all of the difference of whether the company finds itself in a nasty lawsuit or whether that lawsuit is even defensible. This webinar will walk you through time honored methods of conducting effective investigations.
