Conducting Lawful Investigations in the Employment Setting

To defend against charges of harassment and discrimination, the EEOC explains 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

Effective internal investigations require more than analytical expertise. The need to objectively review, characterize and document factual allegations is critical. This interactive session will examine key phases of an effective investigation, with an emphasis on practical skills. Using realistic scenarios, workshop participants will receive hands-on experience in the following techniques:

• The right and wrong way to conduct complaint intake
• How to determine and articulate allegations objectively
• Investigation planning strategies that keep the fact finder on the right track
• Interview techniques that cut through the noise and get to the facts
• Proper methods for documenting interviews — from note taking to witness summaries
• Objectively documenting findings
