Targeting the truth: interview training for internal investigators

Interview techniques for internal investigations in compliance and HR

This training is held in German.
Internal investigations into suspected cases pose complex challenges for compliance officers and HR management. Particularly challenging: interviewing injured parties, witnesses and suspects. Would you like practical training on how to bring the truth to light? This rethink training was developed together with experienced criminal investigators and offers the unique opportunity to simulate real interview situations several times. The video recordings are comprehensively analyzed together with experienced detectives in order to receive valuable feedback and put what you have learned directly into practice. (Future) internal investigators learn how to conduct interviews effectively and how to interpret signals of credibility in order to obtain a usable interview protocol.

Do you have the courage to turn the established upside down?
With rethink training courses, you can change your mindset and discover new horizons.
