Webcast on 7 April 2020| Creating an Effective Remote Investigations Process

By and 2 Mins Read

Engaging in remote investigation activities are routine for some companies, perhaps due to the size of their investigations team or other resource constraints or the nature of certain business settings and geographies. But, lately, all companies are experiencing a rapid increase in the use of remote working environments, without the benefit of time to modify investigations workflows in the wake of a severe reduction in the ability to travel or meet with people in person. During this webcast, the panel will discuss best practices in creating or modifying investigations protocols and systems for a more virtual world that meet legal and policy requirements, ensure quality outcomes, and impart employee confidence in the process.
