SHRM Chattanooga is excited to partner with Lockton to launch a FREE breakfast series for members only. These meetings will be offered quarterly.

Program Description

How to Conduct Workplace Investigations: Conducting workplace investigations is one of the challenging duties that HR professionals must take on. Workforce demographics are shifting. New laws are constantly popping up. Managers make mistakes or they’re under pressure to resolve complaints quickly. Employees are more aware of their rights.  Being able to conduct an effective internal investigation that will both fin the relevant facts and withstand scrutiny is a core competency HR professionals need to master.  This session will provide both insight and practical tactics to employ.
