This week's AWI Training Institute in Denver sold out — and it's easy to see why.
Over the course of this week, participants are learning from 18 faculty members, both internal and external investigators, who generously share their knowledge, real-world experience, and best practices in workplace investigations.
The Training Institute prepares participants for the AWI certificate — widely recognized as the gold standard in workplace investigator training.
Congratulations in advance to everyone putting in the work this week. Your commitment to doing this work with rigor, fairness, and skill makes workplaces better for everyone.
