Conducting Internal Investigations

Description

All organisations are faced with the prospect of dealing with complaints, allegations of misconduct, near misses, unfortunate incidents and non-routine problems that may arise from time to time in the workplace.

One response is to commission an internal investigation, which is often best carried out by employees as part of their managerial responsibilities. It is essential that all investigations are performed properly so that the initial problem does not make your organisation appear dishonest, uncaring or incompetent.

Your investigation could have a profound effect on someone’s future prospects and it is essential that you stick to the disciplinary procedure when dealing with misconduct. Moreover, such investigations must be carried out in a fair and balanced manner and in line with best practice.

Good managers are proud to say, they have a method in place to make sure minor problems are investigated and addressed before they have a chance to accelerate and grow into major problems. The worst thing an organisation can do is know there is a problem, but fail to quickly sort it out or try to cover it up.

This eGuide represents a stand-alone course aimed at managers, supervisors, team leaders, and applies to all business sectors; public, private and not-for-profit organisations globally.
