The step-by-step online course for HR professionals ready to conduct workplace investigations with confidence, ease, and integrity.

Yes, please!

The truth is that NOBODY wants to go through a workplace investigation, especially the HR professional responsible for conducting it (ahem…you).

The stakes are high, the stress is considerable, the sleep is minimal, and you can’t afford to get it wrong when people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake — swift action is critical.

Having an investigation hanging over the heads of employees isn’t just bad for morale and employee happiness, it’s terrible for engagement, productivity, and the bottom line.

We both know that there’s nothing worse than feeling:

picture of Saira from the neck down in professional attire

Shocked by the allegation(s) and unsure of what to do or say (when everyone is looking to you for the answers)
Overwhelmed by all the information about workplace investigations on the internet machine (they tell you WHAT to do but not HOW to do it!)
The pressure to conduct an investigation the right way (vs. the easy way) – fairly, thoughtfully, and thoroughly, while still treating people like people

The stress and pressure to take the right next step in the investigation (even when you’re not quite sure what that should be…)
Stuck in the land of stew not do because you don’t want to make a mistake
Like you’re stuck on a desert island, alone left to build a shelter or forage for food (ok, maybe that’s a bit dramatic… but I just mean feeling like you’re all alone in this without access to a strong mentor to guide you)

But you know what?

Investigations happen.

They aren’t optional.

And they’re critical to get right.

Figuring out how to conduct a workplace investigation the right way isn’t easy...

But what if it didn’t need to be so nerve-wracking or stressful either?

What if you could confidently plan and conduct a workplace investigation without second-guessing your next step or yourself, and spending hours searching aimlessly on Google?

But instead, you had the tools, templates, and checklists to remove the guesswork, keep you organized, and obliterate the overwhelm.

Hi, I'm Saira

(pronounced “sy-rah”)!

I’m committed to conducting workplace investigations the right way (vs. the easy way)…and it shows.

Saira Workplace Investigation Bootcamp Creator

I've even been on the receiving end of mistreatment by a manager, and the higher-ups

didn't investigate because "we were HR." So, I left.

That experience changed me. It strengthened me. It motivated me to use my voice and to use it for good.

To create meaningful and lasting change in workplaces.

And years later, in the same moments that I found myself feeling uninspired and unexcited by the field of HR,

the #MeToo movement was exploding. A new and horrendous story was breaking every day —

and those stories making headlines were just the tip of the iceberg.

I knew employees and workplaces were grappling with these real, raw, and raging issues.

I also knew that these issues needed to be handled fairly, thoroughly, sensitively, and empathetically.

And that's when I felt the universe nudging me… pushing me towards this work.

Since then, I've developed an approach and

applied it to 100+ workplace investigations to discover the truth and

create the best possible outcomes with maximum respect and care for everyone involved.

A thoughtful, thorough, and timely investigation even has a few side benefits:

Reducing turnover
Building trust and confidence in leadership and the investigation process
Increasing feelings of psychological safety
Making your company culture stronger and more cohesive than ever

My approach to conducting workplace investigations is robust, reliable, and repeatable. I’ve been using it in my own practice for years. I’ve supported and guided countless organizations through the messy middle of workplace investigations with impactful results.

That’s why I want to share it with you, too.

So, I’d like to introduce you to…

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp

We’ll whip your workplace investigations into shape

(without the dreaded after leg day burn)!

A common question I’m asked is, “how long will this course take?”

That depends on you. There are three paths to completion:

Path One

6 weeks for a moderate pace

(one module per week )

Path Two

3 months for a leisurely pace

(two modules per month )

Path Three

5 days for a binge pace

(because I see you and I know that some of you will skip the homework and the exercises, no matter how much I encourage you to do them 😂)

It really comes down to how much time, effort, energy, and commitment you put into the course!

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp teaches you why a highly organized workplace investigation process is critical to the success of your company and more importantly, to your employees. You’ll also learn HOW to conduct a flawless investigation. If you are a leader in your company and corporate culture is important to you, then you must take this course.

Jennifer A.

Chief People Officer

I joined The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp to gain a beginner’s level foundational understanding of workplace investigations. Before the course, I struggled to find practical information about workplace investigations online, and I felt intimidated by the workplace investigation process.

After completing The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp, I have a deeper understanding of investigations from start to finish. This course balances the nitty-gritty details and the bigger picture meaning without being overwhelming.

The balance in The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp truly gives you a well-rounded understanding of the topic and conjoins the “what”, the “why” and the “how” perfectly.

Zoe D.

Senior HR Administrator

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp is EPIC!

This comprehensive online training offers great tools and helpful concepts that reflect current best practices in the evolving world of investigations.

Saira finds a wonderful balance - emphasizing the critical role that empathy and humanity play in a successful investigation while still ensuring investigations are done thoroughly and the right conclusions are reached.

Anyone who is responsible for conducting investigations should take it.

Elizabeth D.

People & Culture Consultant

How is this course different?

(because it is!)

it shows you the HOW

Other courses teach you the "what" and the "why", but they don't teach you the "how".

This course was intentionally designed to give you the how. I share the exact process and templates I've used to conduct 100+ investigations!
it's online and self-led

This is an online, self-led course for busy HR professionals (like you!) so you can learn at your own pace.

Everything is online, so, as long as you have internet access and access to Google Drive, you can access it from anywhere. Once you enrol, you'll also get access to any future updates to the course!
it's not one and done

Real learning comes from applying the concepts and implementing them organically.

And that doesn't always happen in a day!

With The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp, you also get access to a FB Community where you can ask questions, share wins, and get support!

Is The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp right for you?

This course isn’t the best fit for you if:

You’d rather outsource your workplace investigations (and I can help with that too!)
You don’t mind spending a lot of time researching and developing your own processes and templates and making it work on your own
You don’t mind learning by trial and error
You’re looking for a magic pill or a quick fix

This course is a dreamy fit for you if:

You have basic knowledge of employment law and legislation – you’re familiar with the laws and legislation that govern workplace investigations
You’re looking for an online, self-led, step-by-step course that you can work through at your own pace with some opportunities for connection and support along the way
You want a roadmap + tools, templates, and checklists galore to set you up for success
You're serious about conducting workplace investigations with integrity, so you’ll DO THE WORK needed to get there
You align with the values of kindness, integrity, transparency, protect your peace, and be unapologetically you

If you’re serious about conducting workplace investigations the right way — fairly, thoughtfully, thoroughly, and empathetically — this is everything you need to set yourself up for success.

Let's tackle your lingering questions

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp FAQs

I've invested in online courses before, and they didn't actually teach me to the point of competency. I can't afford to get this wrong. Will this work for me?

If you do the work, this course works. I know this because it’s the same step-by-step framework I’ve used to conduct 100+ workplace investigations in my own practice. You’ll get the same templates I use, along with all of my hard-won wisdom.

How long will I have access to The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp?

How does forever sound? Dreamy, right? Your enrollment fee gives you lifetime access to this course along with every update that comes with it (the 🎁 that keeps on giving!) As long as I offer this course, you’re in. And if I ever decide to discontinue or cancel the course, I'll give you 90 days' written notice - sound fair?

What's the point of the Facebook group?

The FB group is all about growing an intentional community. It’s a way to connect with other learners and HR professionals. It’s a place to ask questions, to share your wins and even get support if you have some vulnerable moments (it happens, trust me).

Do you offer refunds?

I’m 100% confident in the quality of The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp and the transformation it provides. If, in 30 days, you demonstrate that you have completed all of the work and you don’t have a clear plan and roadmap to approach your next workplace investigation, I will refund your money.

How long will the course take?

That depends on you. There are three paths to completion:

Path One: 3 months for a leisurely pace (two modules per month)
Path Two: 6 weeks for a moderate pace (one module per week)
Path Three: 5 days for a binge pace (because I see you and I know that some of you will skip the homework and the exercises, no matter how much I encourage you to do them 😂)

It really comes down to how much time, effort, energy and commitment you’re going to put into the course!

Is this course right for me if I've never conducted a workplace investigation before?

Yes! This is perfect for you if you’re an HR professional who has some knowledge of employment legislation. This course will guide you through a step-by-step framework on how to conduct a workplace investigation from start to finish and will help to set you up for success.

Is this course right for me if I've already conducted workplace investigations before but I'm just looking for some best practices, tools, templates, and checklists?

Yes, absolutely! The content will only reinforce and enhance the knowledge base that you already have, and the tools, templates, and checklists that are included in this course will just make conducting workplace investigations that much easier!

Is this course heavily focused on case law?

Nope. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t pretend to be one!

This course is NOT a substitute for the law or legal advice. This course isn’t heavily focused on case law because laws across provinces (in Canada), and countries (US, UK, Australia and New Zealand) are different and always changing. You will need to know the laws and legislation governing your jurisdiction and your organization’s policies.

HR professionals anywhere can benefit from this course because this framework aligns with broadly established best practices for conducting investigations.

We're a small, bootstrapped company and any spending needs to be justifiable. Is this a course we could take as we're conducting an investigation to walk us through as we go?

Absolutely, yes.

Is this course a magic pill 💊?

Nope, there’s no magic pill 💊 that you can swallow and suddenly you’ve got a six pack of abs. This is a bootcamp. You’re going to have to watch the videos, read the additional materials, do the exercises, work through the case study, and you’ll even have to do some of the self-recorded role plays.

I lost you at role play, didn’t I? I hear you, as an extroverted introvert myself, I hate role plays…but do they work? Yeah, they do. Are they cringey? Yeah, they’re that too. But workplace investigations are like a muscle that you need to build and strengthen, so you need to commit to doing the work if you want to see the results.

How easy is it to access the course and use the tools and templates?

This is a digital course. Everything is online, so, as long as you have internet access and access to Google Drive, you can access it from anywhere – your office, your bed, the beach…the possibilities are endless! All videos also have an optional closed caption feature!

Why is pizza 🍕the best food ever invented?

Just making sure you’re still with me – but really? Melty cheese, bread, so. many. toppings (not to mention the array of dipping sauces!). And my favourite pizza toppings are ground beef, hot peppers, mushrooms and green olives!

Has The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp been pre-approved for any CPD hours?

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp has been pre-approved for 30 CPD Hours by CPHR Alberta 🙌🏽 🎉

I am exploring the process for pre-approval of CPD hours in other provinces. Stay tuned for updates!

Still have questions about whether The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp is what you need?

I’m happy to answer any questions you have! Email me at info@hrology.ca I’ll give you my honest opinion with no pressure to buy. (And I won’t follow up 100X afterwards asking if you’re ready to buy, either)

Here's what happens when you sign up:

1. You will receive an excited email from me welcoming you to the course!

2. You get immediate access to all course materials so that you can get started right away. Yay!!

And a final note...

If you take anything away from this, let it be this:

To be a kick-ass workplace investigator, you don’t need anything except:

a strong HR foundation (knowledge of the laws of your land)
a strong back (to ask tough questions, to have hard conversations and to make difficult decisions)
a soft front (to treat people like people…and to lead with kindness, empathy and integrity) and
an open mind (a curious mindset, a willingness to acknowledge your biases and the commitment to address your blindspots)

Can you conduct a workplace investigation without this course? Of course, you can.

Will you make mistakes and screw it up if you try and do it on your own? Not necessarily.

But...

This course keeps you on the right track and makes sure you’re taking the right next steps in the right order.

This course is filled with templates, tools, and checklists so that you’re not wasting a ton of time on Google trying to figure out what to say next and how to say it.

This course makes workplace investigations feel EASIER, less stressful, and smoother.

This course gives you the competence and confidence to conduct workplace investigations with integrity.

This course will help you sleep at night.

In the words of Glennon Doyle, “We Can Do Hard Things.”

I believe that you are capable of doing hard things the right way.

And while you absolutely can figure it out and do it on your own, I’d love to help you get started and be your guide.

So, if now isn’t the right time for you to join me, or this isn’t the right course for you, I totally respect that.

But if this is something that you are ready for, know that I couldn’t be more excited to start this journey with you, to support you along the way, and to cheer wildly from the sidelines for all the success that you’re destined to have.

I’ve created a course that my younger HR self would’ve loved to have taken when I first started conducting workplace investigations — one that is practical, actionable and provides a clear roadmap without all the guesswork.

If you put in the work, it will work.

Check out what past students are saying:

My confidence in the workplace investigation process and my role to play as the investigator grew more and more through each module of The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp.

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp would be valuable for folks new to workplace investigations and experienced workplace investigators alike.

Maradyn W.

Senior Manager, People Operations

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp is the most thorough and thoughtful online resource you will find.

I joined The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp to develop my workplace investigation skills and enhance my HR/ADR practice and offerings. After completing the course, I feel much more prepared to identify when an investigation is necessary, but also how to undertake the whole process.

The templates are 🔥! The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp includes everything you need to conduct an investigation with confidence.

Sarah A.

Conflict Coach, Mediator & HR Consultant

The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp is amazing!

If you are worried about what to do if you receive a complaint, you don’t have to anymore! The Workplace Investigation Bootcamp guides you through the who, what, why, when and how!

This course is so comprehensive.

The information, templates and workflows would make anyone look like a seasoned investigator - even if they've never conducted one.
