Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The subject of the training was about Complaints intertwined with performance issues. As a trained investigator, I felt too much of the time was spend on general information about a good investigation (good materials and this part was well presented) but I did not learn anything new from this training which is reflected in my answers to the survey. I was expecting more time to be spent on how to detangle the performance issues from the complaint, with more than one example of a very poorly run investigation. I think this training would have been better marketed as a intro investigatory training. I did appreciate the review of best practices for an investigation, and I like how the presented presented the information. It just did not meet my expectations based on the title for which I signed up.

This was a very informative training. I really enjoyed the video examples. We ran out of time at the end. I would have preferred it be a two hour training with a short break so we could have covered the last handful of slides/information.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I loved that you had an example of how an HR person handled a situation. The do's and don'ts. It was a great way to show the continuing process of a situation. Would love to see more of these types of scenarios and the best way to handle them.
