The injuries that all forms of bullying and abuse cause to brains are invisible to the naked eye, but the damage is visible on brain scans. We ignore them, fail to heal them, and they become cyclical and systemic. 

Now, twenty years of extensive, peer-reviewed neuroscience and neurobiology have changed our understanding and handling of psychological safety in the workplace. HR teams should consider brain science when drafting policies and procedures; doing so will improve your organization’s workplace education, investigations, and response to psychological harm and safety.

Using ChatGPT Technology for Workplace Investigations with Case IQ and Microsoft

Workplace investigation teams are typically aware and cognizant of DEI considerations. But when getting ready to proceed with investigations and interviews related to issues such as harassment, misconduct, or fraud, is your team fully considering systemic discrimination, “invisible” disabilities, or accommodations for those with physical and mental diversity?

Under many jurisdictions, there are processes in place that allow for individuals to self-identify and request accommodations. But what if they haven’t self-identified, but still could benefit from an accommodation? How much better would your information gathering be if you made the process accessible for all? How much would you improve your procedural fairness? 

This webinar, hosted by seasoned investigator and author Ken McCarthy, will explore:

-Invisible and lesser-known considerations for persons with disabilities
-Barriers differently abled employees face in reporting incidents, and how to encourage them to speak up
-Best practices in accommodating persons with disabilities during the investigations process, especially interviews
-Considering unique perspectives and experiences within your case assessment/reporting

Expert Insights: Accommodating Employees with Disabilities During Investigations

With The Great Resignation and more organizations being held to account by employees who speak up, an ethical workplace culture is more important than ever. One way to promote workplace accountability is by implementing both a whistleblower hotline and case management software. These two systems work together to help organizations identify, investigate, manage, and prevent workplace incidents and ethics breaches.

Why is having both a whistleblower hotline and case management software so important? This webinar, co-hosted by Jakub Ficner Director of Partnerships Case IQ, and Shannon Walker, Founder of Whistleblower Security, will outline the benefits of using both systems to promote trust and empower employees.

Attendees will learn:

- Why You Need a Whistleblower Hotline: Ethics hotlines allow employees, customers, partners, and others to report concerns and complaints in a safe way. Explore why they are crucial for every organization, and what to look for when selecting your tool.

- Why You Need Case Management Software: While hotlines serve as the frontline for reporting, case management tools streamline the entire investigation process, from triage to reporting. We will discuss best practices in workplace investigations and often-overlooked issues such as system integration and document defensibility.

- Why Both Systems Work Better Together: When combined, these two tools create a constructive interaction that goes beyond their individual capabilities. To handle your investigations most effectively, you will need proactive reporting, data-driven decisions and continuous improvement. 

Join us to get on your way to a more ethical, transparent company culture. You will gain a reputation as an ethical organization with solid corporate governance; to employees, customers, business partners, board members, and other external stakeholders.

Combined Power: Employee Whistleblower Hotlines & Case Management Software

With recent announcements of increasingly stringent federal policies around record-keeping and due diligence, compliance and investigation professionals are feeling the pressure to demonstrate consistency and rigor in their case management processes.

How Best Practices in Triage Protocol Can Boost Compliance and Reduce Risk

You get it. Being an ethical organization matters. A lot.

But ethics isn’t just a quarterly HR campaign or a glossy conduct guide; in order to really have a bottom-line business impact, organizational ethics must function as an integral pillar of company culture over time.

So, what are the best practices to make sure your organization is regularly thinking about ethics and including it in everyday decision making? What are some creative ways to bring focus to this vital but often overlooked function? And how can you most effectively deal with and investigate an incident or a breach when it occurs?

Join the Case IQ team and Sharlyn Lauby, author of the popular blog HR Bartender, for a lively discussion about ethics and culture.

5 Steps to Create an Ethical Workplace Culture & Respond to Compliance Incidents

New Title IX requirements could be approved in October 2023, meaning that institutions will need to update their policies and procedures.  Some of these changes include expanded definitions for sex and gender-based misconduct, coverage of off-campus conduct, and changes to response protocols.  Schools will have to change the way they address sexual harassment on and off campus, making Title IX compliance a major focus for 2024.  If the changes are not announced until 2024, then current policies and procedures will need to be reviewed and, when necessary, tightened up to ensure they both compliant with regulatory standards and also in keeping with best and emerging practices.  As we consider potential changes to the regulatory environment, schools also need to review the ways they gather, store, review, and share data.  

This webinar will provide attendees with an understanding of current best practices, expected changes to the Title IX regulatory framework, and the role of data management in developing and maintaining a best-in-class response process.

How to Gather, Store, Review & Share Title IX Data Effectively

Workplace investigations are complex processes, with a lot of moving parts. In many cases, the steps involved can be time-consuming and inconsistent, leading to negative outcomes for investigators and their organizations. Fortunately, many of these steps can now be automated. 

Join us for a session on how automation can reduce risk and drive efficiency in case management.

In this session, you'll learn: What types of investigation and case management processes you can automate in your organization, and how that automation can be put in place. Sample processes include:
- Case intake, triage and assignment to staff
- Investigation planning, with structured workflow steps
- Task generation and assignment
- Document generation, including case summaries

We will also discuss how automation leads to better business outcomes, including:
- Increased efficiency
- Error reduction
- Faster response times and time-to-resolution
- Improved data accuracy
- Enhanced collaboration among team members
- Freeing up valuable human resources for more complex tasks, including analysis and policy work
- Improved customer satisfaction and overall business performance

How Automation Can Reduce Risk and Drive Efficiency in Workplace Investigations

Fostering a workplace culture where employees feel safe to speak up if they witness misconduct or abuse is essential to attracting and retaining top talent, as well as staying compliant with industry-relevant laws. But even more than fostering compliance and a positive work environment for your organization, a speak-up culture can actually improve your bottom line. 

Attendees will learn:
- How speak up culture drives organizational compliance
- The importance of non-retaliation in protecting informants
- Efficient triage and investigation of reports
- Using speak up to improve your compliance program
- The ROI of a robust speak up culture

From Speak Up to ROI: How Culture Improves Compliance - and Bottom Lines

In order to avoid risk while running a successful organization, today’s business leaders need to do more than react to cases of harassment, misconduct and employee fraud. They need to prevent these issues. 

Purpose-built case management software provides data-driven reports that help companies manage risk, spot trends, and protect employees and the organization by preventing incidents, as well as fines, and reputation damage.

But home-grown or dated solutions come with many challenges. For instance, managing incidents and investigations using manual methods leads to duplication of effort and information silos, resulting in inefficiency. Using these solutions also comes with security risks and inconsistent documentation, opening the company up to fines and lawsuits.

Case IQ's powerful case management platform streamlines your investigative process and provides the data you need to analyze results, prevent incidents and protect your employees. You’ll save time and money, ensure compliance, and reduce risk, all with one tool.

Join the Case IQ team to learn how you can improve your investigations and reduce risk with one tool.

How to Drive Efficiency &  Reduce Risk with Workplace Case Management Software

Every organization has some level of ethical culture, but according to an Ethics & Compliance Initiative’s State of Ethics in the Workplace Report, only 1 in 5 U.S. employees believed their workplace had a strong ethical culture . 

To improve their culture, organizations should be prepared to hear and investigate ethical concerns—from inside and outside the organization. Doing so efficiently and consistently will help protect your organizational reputation, your employees and your bottom line.

For many HR pros who are involved with workplace ethics programs, one-stop HR platforms that can also be used for recruitment, employee data storage and investigations sound convenient. But while it might be initially cheaper or quicker to buy one solution, ethics will suffer, putting your organization at risk of repeat or missed incidents, non-compliance penalties and employee lawsuits.

Attendees will learn how a dedicated case management platform is the right tool to handle employee misconduct and ethics breaches.

We will explore how it can help your team to:
• Evaluate whether a formal investigation is required
• Plan the investigation, including who will be the investigator, objectives and a timeline
• Conduct interviews, collect data and documentation
• Analyze findings and develop recommendations
• Determine corrective actions
• Close the investigation, including mitigating future risk
