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 explored 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 discussed 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.
This webinar provides practical guidance for HR and WHS professionals, in-house counsel and business leaders responsible for managing safety and workplace relations.
