This course gives delegates an overview of the investigation process along with the skills that they need to undertake a basic fact-finding exercise or a neutral evaluation in order to assess the most suitable remedy to a workplace issue.
The course is also useful for anyone who may be required to commission an investigation as it delivers an overview of the process and places emphasis on the development of terms of reference and a coherent investigation report. The skills are particularly suitable for investigating cases such as grievances, complaints and one-off incidents, none of which are likely to result in a dismissal.
