About The Course

Workplace Investigation Training Academy is a comprehensive course designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and techniques necessary to navigate the complexities of investigative work with professionalism and confidence.

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Dina Horvath — an employment attorney with 17+ years of experience conducting hundreds of workplace investigations across various industries.

Over the years, I’ve seen how life-changing a well-conducted investigation can be, and how damaging a poorly handled one can be.

I created this course to help you develop the insight and skills to conduct investigations that truly serve their purpose – resolving workplace issues and creating positive change.

Why This Course Matters

Workplace investigations are about more than ticking procedural boxes.

A well-executed investigation builds trust, reduces risk, and demonstrates your organization's commitment to fairness and accountability. A poorly handled one? It can destroy credibility, fuel workplace toxicity, and open the door to legal and reputational consequences.

This academy will equip you with the skills, strategies, and professional judgment to conduct investigations that are thorough, fair, and defensible.
