If a complaint of workplace harassment is made, do you know how to respond, investigate, and report on it — legally and correctly? If you don’t, you are not alone. This 3-day course is a crucial primer for today’s climate. Investigate mock complaints (inspired by our work across the country) from start to finish, build your investigation skills, and learn how to avoid costly pitfalls. The third day focuses on mastering report writing.

Many high-profile cases of workplace misconduct have one thing in common: lots of employees knew, but few did anything. This powerful, results-driven “train the trainer” workshop will show you how to enable & empower employees to help flag and curtail issues, instead of being passive witnesses. Participants will leave not only prepared to intervene themselves, but with skills they can instil organization-wide.

If someone at your organization says they’ve been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted, how should you investigate and establish the facts? These complaints can be uniquely challenging for internal investigators — but are more common than ever before. This hands-on, advanced-level training is a must for any frontline staff who may respond to and/or investigate such complaints. Internal investigators leave confident and prepared.

Many employees are afraid to report misconduct or harassment to their employers. These bottled-up issues can quietly poison a workplace, and even explode. Workplace assessments are a proactive way of discovering whether there are problems in your organization, instead of waiting for them to come out. In this workshop, learn the right questions and techniques, and how to analyze and act on the results.

Offering sessions in-house also allows you to mix-and-match elements from any of the courses in our curriculum.

Interviewing witnesses can be the toughest part of an investigation. In this workshop, learn crucial skills: building rapport, formulating the right questions,dealing with difficult witnesses (such as the hostile witness, the gossipy witness and the reluctant witness), handling interruptions from relatives, lawyers, etc, and more.

Have you ever gotten stuck during an investigation? Have you struggled with investigations that the traditional model wouldn’t work for — like anonymous complaints, counter-complaints, or complaints of systemic discrimination? This advanced course is for you. Featuring the Rubin Thomlinson methodology of role play, problem solving, and practice cases, learn to navigate these complex, “not so textbook” cases.
-
Navigating how to behave appropriately at work isn’t always easy. What jokes are okay – or not okay? What if you say the wrong thing to someone?
