Conducting Effective

Workplace Investigations

Carson City - Fall 2026

This interactive one-and-a-half-day workshop equips HR professionals in local government (non-law enforcement) with the skills to conduct thorough, legally defensible workplace investigations.

In this course, participants will learn to:

• Recognize and respond to workplace investigation triggers.
• Develop and execute a structured investigation plan.
• Conduct objective interviews and assess witness credibility.
• Analyze evidence, determine policy violations, and document findings in a clear, legally sound report.
