Workplace investigations and managing psychosocial hazards

Workplace investigations into allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination or even poor conduct or performance are an important process for employers. Done well they allow the employer to manage psychosocial hazards at work and meet their Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations.

Done poorly, workplace investigations can give rise to psychosocial hazards in their own right, claims by individual employees or even attention from a WHS regulator.

In this webinar, our employment law experts explore practical considerations for managing psychosocial hazards arising from the conduct of investigations and conducting legally effective and defensible workplace investigations that also meet your organisation’s WHS obligations. Our experts will discuss how employers can identify and respond to psychosocial risks, determine when an investigation is appropriate, manage sensitive allegations and protect the wellbeing of those involved.

The session will provide practical guidance for HR and WHS professionals, in-house counsel and business leaders responsible for managing safety and workplace relations, followed by a Q&A.

This seminar is eligible for 1.0 CPD points in substantive law.
