meric Craig Bloch, Jd, CfE, Vice President, Compliance and Corporate investigations, adecco Group North america

Compliance professionals depend on well-conducted workplace inves-tigations to protect their companies and tell them how their ethics and compliance processes are working. Investigations are indeed where the compliance process intersects with your company’s operations. But investigations are often complicated, time-consuming and time-sensitive. Do you know enough about how workplace investigations are conducted to effectively manage this part of the compliance process?

This session looks at the workplace investigations process from the perspective of non-investigators who are responsible for the investiga-tions process. Basic topics are covered. Techniques for deftly handling reporters, witnesses, company management and investigators are discussed. Process risks and pitfalls are explored. Best-practices responses to critical investigations issues are suggested. Attendees will receive template documents to assist their efforts. The principles discussed are generally applicable to all workplace investigations.
