Philly SHRM Professional Development Event
Most organizations today strive to promote mutual respect, teamwork and cooperation in the workplace; while delivering on their business objectives. At times, however, inappropriate conduct may occur and organizations must respond. Workplace investigations are one way companies ensure applicable legal requirements are fulfilled and the high standards of business ethics are maintained. For a workplace investigation, interviews are crucial to a fair outcome. Done correctly, they can uncover essential information. Join us and take advantage of the powerful fact-finding value implicit in a well-conducted interview.
This interactive session from former US Department of Justice attorney Michael Johnson challenges common beliefs about how to interview witnesses and spot deception in sexual harassment and other workplace investigations. You will learn:
• How to strategically approach “he said/she said” cases or cases where there are no eyewitnesses
• Which cues to deception have been scientifically validated and which are based on myth
• How to use the “Cognitive Interview” to gather all relevant information from each witness
