Investigation reports serve as critical decision-making tools for internal stakeholders and can face scrutiny from unions\, arbitrators\, and the courts. A poorly written report can weaken a case\, while a well-structured\, clear\, concise\, and legally sound report strengthens credibility and ensures transparency. This advanced workshop equips HR professionals and workplace investigators with the tools and insights needed to write effective\, well-organized\, and defensible investigation reports. Learn how to streamline the process\, assess credibility\, and craft compelling reports that tell a clear and structured story. \nSpeaker: Brian Gottheil \nDate: November 6\, 2025 \nTime: 9:00am – 2:30pm \nRegistration closes: November 5\, 2025 3:00pm \nFor more information: HRPA Advanced Report Writing \n  URL:https://hrlawyers.ca/event/advanced-report-writing-for-workplace-investigations-2/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="HRPA":MAILTO:professionaldevelopment@hrpa.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251112T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251112T160000 DTSTAMP:20260420T033710 CREATED:20250905T155320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250911T134912Z UID:7213-1762938000-1762963200@hrlawyers.ca SUMMARY:LSO Workplace Investigations Summit 2025 DESCRIPTION:The work of workplace investigations is everywhere for legal professionals these days.
