8-Hour Investigator Refresher: 2023 (EEORefresh)


Description
The theme of this annual refresher training is "back to basics". It provides a review of some of the fundamental things needed to be a well-rounded investigator, as well as providing investigators some updates in relevant EEO case law. We developed a module after consulting with several reviewers of reports of investigation. The module summarizes their feedback, which included an overall recommendation of going "back to basics".
