Workplace and organisational investigations are a tricky but necessary part of the proper functioning of any workplace. Done right, you can ascertain facts, make informed decisions and keep your teams ticking along nicely. Done poorly, you can end up with entrenched dysfunction, serious conflict and finding yourself unable to stamp out unconstructive behaviours at work or school.
Our workplace investigations training has been developed by a skilled and experienced investigator, with many years of experience in the field managing different types of investigations, from regulatory investigations to critical incident investigations; from resolution focused investigations to serious misconduct, bullying and sexual harassment.
They are all different, but all investigations share a key set of principles in terms of how to do them well, thoroughly and with a quality focus. This training provides participants with a framework to follow that can be adapted into your workplace policies and procedures, providing confidence in how to start, pursue and complete investigations in an impartial, professional and robust manner.
The training includes:
- The OTI Five Step Investigations Methodology
- Powerful conversations in investigations
- Procedural fairness, impartiality, conflict of interest considerations
- The Briginshaw principle and the balance of probabilities
- Writing eye wateringly good reports including making quality findings and recommendations
This training is a balanced mix of information delivery and skills practice, working through exercises and case studies based on real events to assist participants to walk away ready to go.
If you want your team to have the tools and confidence to start doing quality investigations for your organisation, this training is for you.
