A Culture of Caring: Why Investigations Matter in Keeping Positive Relationships with Employees
Wednesday, 15 September 2021 | 1:00 PM (6:00 PM GMT+1)
Investigations can seem daunting within an organization and can create a heightened concern of retaliation for employees. During this session, however, Mr. Feray will convey how internal investigations can include employees at the center of the investigations process. In truly hearing employee feedback, investigators gain the best insight and accurate data for the investigation, while also being able to add a level of comfort and protection in the work environment for their fellow employees.
CLE credits are available for this webinar in the following states only – TX, VA, NY, NJ, CA. Additional instructions on how to obtain CLE credits will be provided during the webinar.
