Internal
Investigations
Training
Seminars and Workshops
Our
investigations training seminars and workshops
are developed using techniques and best
practices developed from over 25 years of
conducting employee and internal investigations,
both civil and criminal in nature. The
topics are designed to provide any private
sector or internal investigator a practical
framework to work within that creates a
documentation trail and work flow documents.
This is a highly participative workshop style
presentation that pulls from the participant's
own investigative style, company procedures, and
experience.
We
like to work with small groups of 8-10 or less to
maintain the workshop atmosphere. We will
also undertake individual training upon request
to accommodate small companies or those who wish
to utilize a "Train the Trainer" approach.
We provide 1 and 2 day workshops. Our content can also be customized to meet a
specific need.
