2025 WORKSHOPS

The Investigation Process

DESCRIPTION

This workshop is recommended for people leaders and human resources or labour relations practitioners seeking a refresher on investigating misconduct in the workplace.

During this workshop, participants will learn when a duty to investigate is triggered and best practices on how to ensure that the investigation is fair, impartial, and legally defensible. Participants will receive tools and resources as takeaways.

WORKSHOP GOAL

Participants will leave with an understanding of the overall investigation process, including when to conduct a comprehensive, timely, and fair investigation involving employee misconduct.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the types of workplace incidents requiring investigations.
  • Determine when an investigation needs to occur.
  • Articulate the investigation process and the key legislation, case law, and labour relations principles as they apply to conduct investigations.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive a copy of the PSEA's Fact-finding and Investigation Toolkit — prepared in collaboration with Harris & Co.
