Workplace Investigator Training
Workplace Investigator Training
An internal investigation must be handled in a compassionate, supportive and non-judgmental way while the information in the case is gathered and a report is composed. Our Workplace Investigator Training has been prepared by, and is led by, an investigator who’s been licensed with the Province of Alberta Solicitor General.
Our specialized training will give your HR professionals the tools necessary to strategically handle internal disputes, complaints and grievances. We teach leading investigatory techniques, ensuring they are aligned with human resources best practices.
Every student learns the details of investigation due process, and is shown how to conduct an investigation with the utmost care.
Additionally, we are the first HR company in Calgary to support each person with on-the-job training, so they can receive relevant, real-time mentorship and feedback, when they need it most. This maximizes their learning and proficiency, so you can be fully confident that your new investigator is completely prepared to launch an investigation on their own.
Do you need help with learning how to handle an investigation situation?
Confidential Safe Reporting
A confidential safe reporting service is the perfect way to safeguard your company and support your employees. Many people fear coming forward with a complaint or a report because they’re worried about backlash, or not being taken seriously.
A confidential safe reporting service gives your team the perfect way to do what they know is right, while keeping their identity confidential.
Your employees gain access to our unbiased third-party service, which ensures their concerns are detailed and delivered to the appropriate person in your organization, who can then deal with the issue, or pass it off to an outside investigative team.
We have cost-effective packages for companies of any size.

"ACTivate HR is an amazing company and wonderful to work with. Our company had a large scale investigation occurring, and our team was overloaded and unable to respond to it by ourselves. Upon reaching out to ACTivate HR, I received a quick response from Krista, followed by plenty of great assistance. She was extremely professional and insightful, and provided a thorough report of the findings in a timely manner. I can’t recommend ACTivate HR enough.”
