Webinar | Conducting internal investigations | Members only

Many organisations conduct internal investigations for various purposes, like responding to incidents in the workplace or doing 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 that respond to incidents or implement measures to identify possible future problems. These teams should follow strict protocols contained in 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 that you comply with the 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.
