Dino Ross, Ireland Stapleton, conducted a very enlightening and educational discussion on Workplace Investigations. Here are a few of the highlights Dino discussed today: ? Workplace investigations are an area that can be very difficult. Accurate facts and documentation are always needed. ? Maintain an accurate up to date legal set of SOGs and Personnel Handbooks. ? Never record or allow an interview to be recorded during an investigation hearing. ? Be patient, understanding and considerate in your approach and be a good listener. ? Always have a third party at every interview. ? Attempt to create an accurate set of notes from the interview and ask for approval signatures from the parties involved. We were very fortunate to be able to benefit from Dino?s vast knowledge, expertise, and experience on this subject. Dino?s entire power point presentation can be reviewed on the CSFCA Website under the Combination Section. Please contact Dino at 303-628-3686, or dross@irelandstapleton.com for additional information. 4. Director Cooke was unable to attend our meeting.
