The safest approach: Psychosocial risk in investigations

Employers have a positive duty to actively manage potential psychosocial risks for all employees. Where it has been determined that complaint is to be investigated, a poorly handled investigation process can cause considerable distress to participants.  If not conducted properly, a workplace investigation can potentially intensify or create additional psychosocial hazards.  In the worst cases, the investigation itself can become a hazard.

Conducting procedurally fair workplace investigations that are people centred can mitigate this risk for organisations.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to address and manage psychosocial risks that arise during an investigation:

• Timeline management and expectations
• Communication with participants
• Using trauma-informed practices in all investigations
• Balancing procedural fairness with participant well-being
• The role of a support person

Worklogic Principal Consultant, Tanya Hunter, will be joined by Worklogic Director, Jodie Fox, and Principal Consultant, Brooke Hall, to discuss the safest approach to conducting investigations while addressing the stresses that can arise as part of an investigation and ensuring the process itself doesn’t contribute to cause further harm.

Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions during the session.
