Certificate in Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations Seminar (Orlando, United States - July 17-18, 2023)

DUBLIN, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Certificate in Conducting Lawful Workplace Investigations Seminar" conference 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.
