OVERVIEW
Employers do investigations every day. These fact findings generally entail conversations with employees so as to gather observations and determine facts.
Witness interviews are often especially challenging because many employees for a variety of reasons are reluctant to be involved and can be less than forthcoming. Friends of employees and those accused of an offense are often downright angry and vengeful. Investigations by their very nature tend to leave at the least some employee relations damage amongst employees.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In theory, investigatory interviewing sounds easy but in reality, it's often not.
The assigned investigator in many workplaces is often an already overburdened employee to whom another time-consuming project is now assigned, often to their dismay. This investigator may have had little to no training in how to perform workplace investigations. Or they may have had training in the process of investigatory mechanics but never actually performed an investigation. One common challenge is struggling to gather information during witness interviews. In HR investigation process, it's crucial that interviews are structured to capture and gather all available accurate information, notwithstanding employee emotions that are often running high.
