Case Management Benchmarking Study: Insights on Security Investigations

Within a specialized UN agency based in Rome, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) serves as an independent oversight body. The OIG’s dual mandate includes financial audits and administrative investigations. Its primary objectives are to ensure that agency’s resources are used as intended, protected from fraud, and aligned with its mission. The OIG’s Investigation Branch plays a critical role in safeguarding organizational integrity.
As the OIG’s scope and responsibilities grew, so did its challenges. What began as a modest investigative function with a manageable caseload evolved into a robust operation tackling increasingly complex issues.
There were a number of challenges that emerged early on as the investigation team got going. First and foremost, the team faced an exponential growth in caseload. Another challenge that the investigation team faced early on related to the rising complexity of the cases that staff reported. The last challenge that emerged centred around reporting and analytics. The team recognized that a modern case management system was essential to stay ahead of these growing demands.
In this video, viewers will learn how the OIG addressed these challenges using Case IQ's modern case management software and the positive outcomes they've experienced since making the switch.

How a UN OIG Modernized Its Case Management with Case IQ

Investigating a workplace incident or complaint is important to protecting employees and your organization. But if you don't work to prevent retaliation against a reporter, you're allowing another, potentially more damaging, issue to slip by.

In this session, Meric Bloch, Principal at Winter Investigations, explains values, fundamentals, procedural justice, and other standards to ensure that a workplace investigation is conducted ethically.  He'll discuss how an investigator can minimize the risks of a retaliation claim, how to assess a retaliation claim, the relevant areas of inquiry to investigate the claim, and identifying perception of retaliation claims.

This webinar covers the following key topics:
• The components of an ethical investigation
• The elements of procedural justice that exist in an ethical investigation
• The duties of an investigator when conducting an ethical investigation
• The entitlements and responsibilities of both the employee under investigation, as well as the employee who made the complaint regarding actual or suspected misconduct

After watching this session, attendees should be able to understand:
• Ethical components of an investigation
• Elements of procedural justice
• Each of an investigator’s duties when conducting a workplace investigation.
• Entitlements and responsibilities of both the employee under investigation, as well as the employee who made the complaint regarding actual or suspected misconduct

Investigations Best Practices Episode 3: The Truth About Retaliation

In today's divided landscape, supporting students' mental well-being and promoting anti-racism and anti-hate on campus is essential. Providing students with a safe, inclusive living and learning environment should be top priorities for colleges and universities. Schools should also establish an easy-to-use reporting hotline and an efficient investigative process for handling harassment and discrimination claims.

In this roundtable, representatives from various universities, as well as Ryley Learning (a DEI training provider) will discuss how higher education institutions can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus, protecting both students and the school.

Discussion topics will include how to: 

-Advance anti-racism and anti-hate on campus
-Protect students' mental health
-Encourage students to speak up about DEI injustices
-Efficiently and effectively investigate incidents
-Prioritize DEI initiatives in 2025

DEI in Higher Education: How to Support Students and Conduct Investigations in 2025

Interviews can be one of the toughest tasks for an investigator, especially when you are questioning the employee who's been accused of wrongdoing. You need to make sure they're worth your time, so you want to gather as much useful information as possible, but you also need to avoid biases and coercive interviewing tactics.

In this module, Meric Bloch, Principal at Winter Investigations, will focus on the techniques needed for interviewing the employee under investigation, how to obtain admissions of improper conduct, and what to do when you don’t obtain an admission.

This webinar will cover the following key topics:
• The psychology of employee wrongdoing and how this is rationalized
• How to encourage an employee to admit improper conduct by developing a theme to place the wrongdoing in context
• Techniques to focus on the elements of the policy violation rather than seeking a confession during an interview

After watching this webinar, attendees will be able to:
• Identify the ways an employee rationalizes their misconduct so that they are comfortable with improper conduct
• Understand why empathy and understanding are effective ways to obtain admissions of improper conduct, and that accusatory questions do not achieve the desired results
• Consider what information they need to gather from the interview to prove or disprove the misconduct so that employee interviews are focused and efficient

Investigations Best Practices Episode 2: Interviewing the Implicated Employee

From time to time, an employer will need to investigate—formally or informally—concerns about an employee’s workplace behavior. If your organization has a hotline and other reporting channels to give employees a way to speak up, this is only half of the equation. The other half is thoroughly addressing—and when necessary, fully investigating—allegations once they have been reported.

Investigating and resolving an allegation correctly strengthens and protects your organization. A proper investigation gives management needed information and a factual basis on which to make its decisions. It also reinforces both the fairness of the employee discipline process and your commitment to learning about employee concerns.

The objectives and scope of investigations vary widely, but its overriding purpose is always to find out the relevant facts.  Each investigation may be unique and handled differently, following standard techniques can help you investigate in a fair, transparent, and consistent manner. 

This webinar with Meric Bloch, Principal at Winter Investigations, discusses the techniques necessary for a successful intake discussion with the employee who makes a complaint about actual or possible misconduct. In this session, viewers will learn about key topics including:
• The role of the employee complaint in a workplace investigation.
• The steps needed to gather additional information from the complainant.
• The listening techniques an investigator needs when interviewing the complainant.
• The additional topics to discuss with the complainant to ensure you have fully understood their concerns.
• The common errors investigators make when trying to learn more about the complaint.

New Title IX requirements could be approved in October 2023, meaning that institutions will need to update their policies and procedures.  Some of these changes include expanded definitions for sex and gender-based misconduct, coverage of off-campus conduct, and changes to response protocols.  Schools will have to change the way they address sexual harassment on and off campus, making Title IX compliance a major focus for 2024.  If the changes are not announced until 2024, then current policies and procedures will need to be reviewed and, when necessary, tightened up to ensure they both compliant with regulatory standards and also in keeping with best and emerging practices.  As we consider potential changes to the regulatory environment, schools also need to review the ways they gather, store, review, and share data.  

This webinar will provide attendees with an understanding of current best practices, expected changes to the Title IX regulatory framework, and the role of data management in developing and maintaining a best-in-class response process.
