Why do I need this training?
Investigations are a key part of the grievance and disciplinary process. Employment tribunals expect employers to show that they have undertaken a fair and thorough investigation of complaints. Investigations can be time consuming and complicated. However, if carried out early and correctly, an investigation can prevent the issue from escalating to a tribunal claim and can minimise distraction from the business.
