Frequently Asked Questions
Smart questions deserve clear answers. Here's what HR professionals ask us most often about this program.
How is this different from basic investigation training?
Answer: Most investigation training is theoretical classroom instruction. This program puts you in real investigation scenarios with practicing employment attorneys guiding you through each step.
You'll actually conduct investigations during the program, not just learn about them. You'll interview witnesses, evaluate evidence, and write reports with expert coaching throughout.
Bottom line: You'll gain actual investigation experience in a safe learning environment, so you're confident handling real workplace complaints.
Is $1,575 worth it for investigation training?
Answer: Employment attorneys charge $400-600 per hour for investigation services. A typical investigation costs $8,000-15,000 in legal fees, plus potential settlement costs if handled poorly.
One properly conducted investigation that prevents litigation pays for this training many times over. Plus, you'll have the skills to handle future investigations internally.
Bottom line: At $1,575, you're paying roughly $118 per hour for investigation expertise that would cost you $400+ per hour from law firms.
What types of investigations will I learn to handle?
Answer: You'll master investigations for the most common workplace complaints:
Sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct
Discrimination based on protected characteristics
Safety violations and workplace hazards
Policy violations and misconduct issues
Retaliation complaints and hostile work environment claims
Real-world scenarios ensure you're prepared for the investigations you'll actually face in your organization.
Will this work for small organizations?
Answer: Absolutely! Small organizations face the same investigation challenges as large companies, often with higher risk because they lack dedicated HR resources.
This training is especially valuable for smaller organizations because it gives you the expertise to handle investigations properly without expensive outside counsel for every complaint.
You'll learn to scale investigation procedures appropriately for your organization size while maintaining legal compliance.
What if I've never conducted an investigation before?
Answer: This program is designed for all experience levels, from complete beginners to experienced investigators who want to strengthen their skills.
We start with the fundamentals and build to advanced techniques through guided practice. You'll gain confidence through hands-on experience with expert coaching.
Walk away ready: Even if you've never conducted an investigation, you'll leave with the skills and confidence to handle any workplace complaint professionally and legally.
