"Our trainer, Karin Backstrom, was an excellent instructor. She helped us understand what is a concern vs an actual complaint that needs investigating. I appreciated how she taught us how to write the reports, and what is valuable information and what is actually irrelevant in the report. She also taught us some very valuable terminology to use in our policies handbook, and why it is so important to really train your managers to be able to handle the little things that really don't need to go straight to HR."
