Workplace Investigations Training – Brisbane | Two-Part Course
Description
Duration/time: TWO HALF DAYS: 9am - 12pm AEST each day - Arrive 8:45am
Workplace investigations can be complex, sensitive and high risk — but with the right training, they don’t have to feel overwhelming.
Ensuring workplace investigations are carried out fairly and appropriately is essential since poor investigations (and potentially unsound findings) could present significant legal risk and liability for you and your organisation.
We've seen numerous cases with clients and in the media recently where initial investigations have been carried out poorly, resulting in significant fall-out for the organisation and executives involved. Upskill now and gain a deeper understanding of workplace investigations.
Attend in-person at East Brisbane.
Join Claire Harrison for a practical and interactive for 2 x Half-Day Workplace Investigation Workshops designed to help HR professionals, leaders and managers confidently navigate workplace investigations from start to finish.
These hands-on sessions focus on practical application, real workplace scenarios and proven investigation techniques you can implement immediately in your organisation.
This registration includes two in-person sessions.
Part 1: Thursday 15 October 2026
Part 2: Thursday 22 October 2026
