Course Description
If you’re not able to tell when your employees are engaging in misconduct or wrongdoing, you won’t be able to fix the situation or implement the appropriate disciplinary actions. Companies want to have a positive reputation of integrity and trust, and it’s hard to maintain this reputation if you’re unsure how your employees are acting. You can also miss important health and safety concerns or security violations if you’re not watching over the workplace. Internal monitoring can be a tricky subject; how do you maintain a balance between what’s best for the company and protecting your employees’ rights to privacy?
In this Internal Monitoring, Investigation, and Surveillance Techniques course, you’ll learn why and how companies implement internal monitoring and investigations. We’ll explore the benefits of these processes and how to stay legally and ethically compliant. And we’ll learn about the best practices for gaining employee buy-in by using transparent communication and education.
