To defend against charges of harassment and discrimination, the EEOC opines that "...Whoever conducts the investigation should be well-trained in the skills that are required for interviewing witnesses and evaluating credibility..." ~ Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Further, employee lawsuits increasingly focus on the quality of the organization's investigations, and many courts have made it clear that an effective, unbiased investigation is one of the best weapons against liability in employment litigation.

This comprehensive workshop will provide the skills necessary to conduct effective internal investigations that produce objective results and withstand scrutiny in subsequent litigation. Using a comprehensive hands-on approach, participants build "real life" skills by learning how to:

Take a complaint
Develop an investigation plan
Interview witnesses
Reach a conclusion

Working through a case study culled from actual litigation, participants will practice all of these skills with the aid and guidance of expert attorney-facilitators.

Who Should Attend?
In-house counsel, human resources professionals, and other professionals who deal with workplace investigations in the retail and hospitality industries.

This interactive program will also be held in Pittsburgh on November 1st.

Seating is limited to 40 participants.
