SUMMARY:Managing HR Investigations Effectively
DESCRIPTION:Full Details\nDate: Friday\, November 20th 2026\nTime: 9.30am – 12.30pm\nCPD: 3.5 CPD Hours\nMethod of Delivery: Online\nFee: €360\nAbout the seminar  \nAs a HR professional\, a lot of work involves providing advice and training on good practice employee relations to public sector HR professionals. Most grievance\, disciplinary and dignity at work policies emphasise the importance of early interventions and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation. However the reality is that grievances\, dignity at work and disciplinary issues often escalate to the formal stage of a policy where issues or conflict cannot be resolved informally. \nMany HR professionals find the process of managing formal investigations daunting. The implementation of fair procedures is critical in managing investigations\, and a very high level of complaints lodged with the Workplace Relations Commission are upheld because of a failure to adhere to the principles of fair procedures\, namely that: \n\n employee grievances are fairly examined and processed\n details of allegations or complaints are put to the employee concerned\n the employee is given the opportunity to respond fully to allegations or complaints\n the employee is afforded the right to be represented during the procedure\n the employee concerned has the right to a fair and impartial determination of the issues concerned\, taking into account representations made by or on their behalf and any other relevant information.\n\nWhere investigations are not managed in line with these principles\, there are many negative consequences – in relation to costs\, resources\, organisational reputation and damage to working relationships\, wellbeing and trust. \nLearning Objectives\nThis seminar will provide participants with an overview and understanding of how to manage HR investigations effectively\, with a focus on the following: \n– determining when and how a formal investigation should be completed \n– agreeing terms of reference for an investigation \n– ensuring adherence to policies and fair procedures in an investigation \n– reaching conclusions based on the civil burden of proof \n– top tips for managing investigations \nIntended Audience\nHR and employee relations managers who wish to develop their understanding of how to manage investigations. This seminar will also be very useful for managers who have a role in managing or commissioning HR investigations. \nMultiple Delegate Discount\nLimited Places Available – book early to avoid disappointment. \n\n3+ Delegates – 5% Discount\n5+ Delegates – 10% Discount\n10+ Delegates – 15% Discount\n\nTo avail of our multiple delegate discount for 3 or more delegates\, you must email registrations@pai.ie with the name and details of all those you wish to book. All those you wish to book on must be booked at the same time. \nFor 1 or 2 attendees\, manually enter in the number of tickets you wish to purchase below.
