Webinar | Conducting internal investigations

Many organisations conduct internal investigations for various purposes, such as responding to workplace incidents or conducting background checks on candidates. You investigate the incident to protect your organisation’s interests or to protect the interests of your stakeholders or third parties.

Typically, organisations create internal investigation teams to respond to incidents or to implement measures to identify potential future problems. These teams should follow the strict protocols set out in the policies and procedures in place at your organisation.

Investigations require a lot of information, which often includes personal information. If you’re conducting investigations, you must ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. The outcome and process of an investigation could also be particularly sensitive, and you want to prevent backlash by conducting lawful and ethical investigations from the outset.
