About the Event

Employee relations investigations can cause real harm to those being investigated – as well as those involved in the process.

They can harm your organisation’s culture and reputation and divert time and resources from meeting the needs of those you exist to serve.

Whilst they are necessary and important for addressing major workplace issues, understanding their potential impact and building in compassionate support for those going through them needs to be an integral part of the process.

Join us for ‘Employee investigations: Looking after your people and the process’ and find out how you can:

• Deliver processes with compassion
• Reduce the number of your investigations
• Create learning cultures, instead of punitive ones
• Identify financial savings
• Develop a ‘last resort’ approach

The programme includes:

‘When work harms’ – a case study unearthing some of the common problems that can take place during investigations.

Managing the process – understanding and anticipating the issues – so that you can avoid or mitigate in future investigations.

Walking a mile in their shoes – reflect on the impact of investigations on those investigated, wider staff and the organisation itself.

Taking a legal perspective – understand the main issues and themes that are often included in legal action when investigations go wrong.

Q&A session – with our panel of experts.

Who's the Training for?

This training event is for anyone involved in commissioning, leading or supporting the delivery of employee investigations: frontline management, investigation officers, HR, wellbeing and staff side representation.

It’s open to all health and social care organisations in Wales – and there are also a number of spaces allocated for the wider public sector.

We would encourage you to send a team (max 5 spaces per organisation) which has representation from management, staff-side, HR, wellbeing to enable you to effectively apply the learning in your organisation.

The failure to run employee investigations well will ultimately lead to a reduction in staff engagement, loyalty, trust, motivation, productivity and recruitment and an increase in stress, turnover and criticism toward the organisation.

What They're Saying About the Training

As a result of attending the training and the new approaches we have taken, there has been less time spent on investigations, more timely resolution for staff, less stress and a reduction in sickness and absence.

The training was perfect for our organisation. It was well pitched: supporting a cultural change in the way we run our investigations – applying the concepts of just culture and compassionate leadership in both practical and accessible ways.
