Part 3: Workplace Investigations That Build Trust
How a workplace investigation is conducted sends a powerful message about an organization’s values. When done well, investigations demonstrate a genuine commitment to employee well-being and a clear stance on acceptable behavior. This is especially critical in cases involving bullying, harassment, or other trauma-related incidents, where mishandling can cause lasting harm.

In this fast-paced 30-minute session, Dr. Riley will walk employers through the essential steps of a respectful and effective workplace investigation. Participants will learn practical strategies to build trust, protect psychological safety, and ensure a fair process—especially during sensitive employee interviews.
