Investigating workplace misconduct and drafting disciplinary charges
A poorly drafted complaint or a flawed investigation can unravel even the strongest disciplinary case. This workshop takes delegates step by step through conducting workplace investigations, interviewing witnesses, gathering evidence and drafting disciplinary notices that are accurate, fair and legally sound. Delegates will learn to avoid the most common pitfalls — from insufficient detail of the transgression provided to split charges — while mastering the rules of procedural and substantive fairness. Through practical scenarios and drafting exercises, delegates will gain the confidence to get it right from investigation through to hearing.
