The HR Investigations Podcast

Behind the Curtain: What Executives Need to Know About Internal Investigations


Listen Later

In this episode of The HR Investigations Podcast, host Natalie Ivey dives into a crucial but often overlooked area: the role of senior leadership in supporting internal investigations. Too often, HR teams are conducting complex and sensitive investigations without clear support or understanding from the C-suite—and that can spell disaster.

Natalie unpacks the most common misconceptions executives hold about the investigative process and how HR professionals can bridge this knowledge gap. From enterprise risk management to legal exposure and employee morale, investigations have ripple effects throughout the organization—and the C-suite needs to be tuned in.

Tune in to learn:

  • How to educate executives about HR’s role in investigations
  • Tips for presenting investigative findings to senior leaders with clarity and impact
  • What to include in your next leadership briefing on workplace culture and legal risk
  • Whether you're in HR, legal, or a leadership role yourself, this episode will equip you with the insights to elevate the investigative function in your organization—and ensure it gets the strategic attention it deserves.
