One weak point in an investigation can have significant consequences.

After reviewing hundreds of regulatory investigations and quality assurance files, certain patterns emerge. Small process failures, overlooked evidence, analytical bias, and flawed decision-making can quietly erode the fairness and defensibility of an investigation.

Tomorrow, Bob Stenhouse and Lisa DeSousa will share real-world insights from decades of experience conducting and reviewing complex investigations.

Regulatory Investigations: Areas of Risk What Regulators and Investigators Need To Know

This webinar will help regulators, investigators, and oversight professionals identify common risk areas and strengthen their investigative processes before problems arise.

When workplace concerns arise, the first question is often not what happened. It's, what should happen next?

Should the matter be addressed through a workplace assessment, an administrative investigation, or a workplace restoration process?

Choosing the wrong approach can create unnecessary risk, cost, delay, and disruption. Choosing the right approach helps organizations respond in a way that is fair, proportionate, and effective.

Join Veronica De Freitas, MA-CAM, CPHR (Director of Workplace and HR Risk Consulting) and Jennifer Mazer, MEd, CPHR, CCP (Licensed Investigator, Director โ€“ Human Resource / Workplace Investigations) for:

โ€ข When a workplace assessment may be the most appropriate response
โ€ข When an investigation is necessary
โ€ข When restoration efforts may help repair working relationships
โ€ข How to assess organizational risk and determine the best path forward
โ€ข Key considerations for leaders, HR professionals, and decision-makers
Ideal for HR professionals, leaders, supervisors, and compliance professionals.

Not every workplace concern requires the same level of investigation.

For years, many organizations have approached workplace investigations as though there were only two options: investigate or don't investigate.

In reality, workplace concerns exist on a spectrum of complexity, risk, and consequence.

A lower-complexity concern requiring initial fact-finding should not be approached the same way as a matter involving multiple parties, significant reputational risk, or potential legal scrutiny.

Veritas' new Risk-Informed Workplace Investigations Model recognizes this reality.

Built on the principles of independence, procedural fairness, evidence-based analysis, and defensible outcomes, the model aligns investigative scope and reporting with the nature of the matter being addressed. What changes is the depth of the investigation. The standard does not.

Swipe through for an overview of the three levels and how a risk-informed approach helps organizations respond proportionately while maintaining fairness, efficiency, and defensibility.

Psychological safety isnโ€™t simply a culture initiative. Itโ€™s an information and governance issue.

When people donโ€™t feel safe raising concerns, organizations lose access to information that could help them identify problems earlyโ€”before a formal complaint, regulatory scrutiny, or avoidable reputational harm.

A workplace assessment done well gives leaders a clearer view of what is actually happening. It can surface context that engagement surveys, policies, and conversations in formal settings may not fully reveal.

That honest view may be uncomfortable. It is also essential to sound governance.

Organizations that understand their people risk are better positioned to address itโ€”with dignity, with care, and through decisions that hold up when scrutinized.

Three shifts weโ€™re seeing across workplaces right now.

Following conversations at CPHR Alberta 2026, a few consistent themes emerged, reflected in the discussions many organizations are navigating today.

Highlights:
1. Rising complexity in workplace conflict โ€” teams feeling stretched and reactive
2. Gaps in training and support โ€” for investigations, leadership, and managing behaviour
3. Demand for practical, applied learning โ€” tailored to real workplace challenges

These arenโ€™t isolated challenges. They reflect broader shifts in how people issues are showing up across organizations.

What weโ€™re seeing: Organizations are navigating more complex people issues, with a clear need for stronger capability and practical support to manage them with confidence.

At the 2026 CPHR Alberta Conference, weโ€™re inviting you to visit Booth #50 to enter to win a full three-day spot (valued at $1500) in our Workplace Investigations Training Certificate, delivered in partnership with CPHR Alberta.

Our flagship Workplace Investigations Training prepares professionals to conduct investigations that withstand scrutiny.

You can also enter to win a Clarity is Care Kit weโ€™ve put together for the conference.

Inside, youโ€™ll find a curated selection of Canadian-made products (where we could), chosen to support focus, energy, and care throughout the day.

Because when people risk is real, the work asks a lot of you:
Clear thinking. Sound judgement. A process you can stand behind.

Thatโ€™s the work we do every day at Veritas. Helping organizations handle people risk fairly, clearly, and defensibly.

If youโ€™re attending the conference, weโ€™d welcome the chance to connect.

๐Ÿ“ Visit us at Booth #50, June 2 - 3.
