Most investigations don't fail on the findings. They fail on the process: a scope that keeps growing, a manager who interferes, a timeline nobody can meet, or a credibility assessment that can't survive scrutiny.
Inside Workplace Investigations brought seasoned practitioners together for a half-day of scenario-based learning, from the first complaint through findings, liability and the dynamics that shape every interview.
A roundtable and four focused sessions. Every session was recorded and is available on demand. All times ET.
Todd Humber opens the afternoon on behalf of HR Law Canada, HR News Canada, Safety News Canada and the event sponsors.
Todd Humber, North Wall Media
A 60-minute roundtable on the hidden pitfalls that derail investigations: scope creep, manager interference, unrealistic timelines and post-investigation fallout. Covers file preparation, managing escalation, setting expectations and procedural fairness.
Lai-King Hum (moderator), Sasha Hart and Tova Bar-Dayan
Recent court and tribunal decisions, scoping complaints, assessing credibility without direct witnesses, reducing bias and stereotypes, and applying trauma-informed principles while staying impartial.
Nathaniel Marshall and Laura Spaner, Marshall Workplace Law
What investigators should do when findings expose the organization to liability, from serious misconduct to gross mismanagement or internal interference, and the conflict when the lawyers protecting the organization also oversee the investigation.
Bob Stenhouse, Veritas Solutions
Why people hesitate to report, the benefits of anonymous channels, the challenges of an unidentified complainant, and best practices for employees, customers and external parties.
Bay Ryley, Ryley Law, and Jan Parnega, Shearer Parnega
How race, gender and culture shape workplace conflict: identifying bias-motivated allegations, reading markers in interviews and credibility assessments, and running equitable investigations.
