    Key Learning Points:

    • Know When to Investigate:
      Learn how to distinguish between situations that warrant a formal investigation and those better suited to informal resolution tools like coaching, mediation, or team interventions.
    • Tool, Not a Reflex:
      Understand investigations as one conflict resolution tool—not the default response—and explore a structured decision-making framework to guide the right approach.
    • Best Practices in Workplace Investigations
      When Investigations are the right tool, gain insights on some of the best practices for legally sound, defensible investigations that are high quality, fair and effective.
