We understand that time is precious. Over a number of years at least 50% of bullying complaints I deal with are against managers who in many cases have managed employees, conducted performance management or a review or in some cases it’s something simple like sending an employee an email. These course are preventative first aid for managers.

Understanding Workplace Investigations for managers

HR professional are often confronted with the task of not only conducting or outsourcing workplace investigations into complaints of misconduct such as bully, harassment or sexual harassment but also management the expectations of managers who do not understand the process.

It is a fact that workplace investigations can be complex and take time often requiring significant enquiries and interviews before a final report can be provided, HR professionals are at times under pressure from managers to get it done now.

In response to requests from HR professional to provide a training program that answers questions they are often asked by managers:

Does this complaint need to be investigated?
What has to happen?
How long will it take?
Is it finished yet?
Why is it taking so long
