This course is designed for HR professionals who want to strengthen their role in managing investigations by partnering more effectively with frontline managers. Led by Meric Craig Bloch, a global investigations expert with over 800 cases to his name, the session focuses on how to equip managers to respond appropriately when employees report workplace concerns. You’ll learn how to guide managers through their legal obligations, prevent missteps during the intake process, and build a collaborative relationship that improves outcomes. The course also explores how trust, alignment, and communication between HR and management can reduce risk and protect organizational integrity.
Through real-world examples and practical insights, Meric explains what managers want, what they need, and how HR can deliver both while maintaining professional independence. The course unpacks the common mistakes managers make during investigations—not out of malice, but due to lack of preparation—and provides HR with actionable strategies to prevent them. You’ll gain tools to shift manager mindsets, build credibility, and position yourself as a trusted advisor committed to their success. Approved for SHRM and HRCI recertification, this training offers immediate value to any HR pro tasked with leading or supporting workplace investigations.
