In today's complex work environments, it is crucial to gain a clear understanding of the underlying issues that can impact workplace integrity and safety.
Our 3-day training course 'Interview Specialist Integrity and Safety in the Workplace' is specially designed to meet this need. A core aspect of this training involves applying appropriate interview techniques, an essential tool for finding out what is actually going on and understanding employees' experiences and concerns.
During many integrity investigations, carried out by both internal and external parties, the correct approach is often not followed during interviews. This leads to a lack of openness from the interviewees and can result in an incomplete or distorted picture of the situation. This course has been carefully crafted to train professionals in applying empathetic, respectful, and effective interview techniques. This allows them to create a safe environment in which interviewees feel comfortable and safe to share their stories.
