*PRE-ORDER, APPROX 4-6 BUSINESS DAYS* A Practical Guide to Conducting Workplace Investigations by Hena Singh 9780433496731 [ZZ]

Paperback, Lexis Nexis

Written by an experienced employment lawyer, this is an authoritative guide for dealing with the most common elements of workplace investigations, including general principles and best practices.

As author Hena Singh explains in A Practical Guide to Conducting Workplace Investigations, significant changes in Canadian legislation over the past couple of decades “have led to the requirement that employers conduct or retain someone to conduct internal workplace investigations when there are serious issues which the employer cannot resolve.” It is precisely that requirement that makes this text such a valuable resource.
