Effective Listening Skills Inventory for Investigative Interviews: A Virtual Pre-Summit at the 2021 Global TapRooT® Summit
Learn how to inventory your listening skills. Your work, your communication style, your success rate will reflect the changes you’ve made in your investigative interviews.
Do you ever interrupt someone because you fear “losing” what you want to say? Do you become momentarily engrossed in your thoughts, then return to reality to find someone awaiting your answer to a question you didn’t hear? Most of us are at fault for interrupting or being distracted from time to time. Particularly, though, in an interview environment where focus is key, distractions or interruptions can be detrimental to the interview.

Take advantage of a trio of TapRooT® tools designed to hone interviewing and investigative skills: a course, a webinar, and a book
System Improvements developed these tools—the course, webinar, and book—to specifically address the needs of those who investigate workplace incidents. The best investigators quickly learn that intimidating interrogation tactics don’t prove effective in workplace incident investigations as they discourage the interviewee from providing critical information that helps the investigator get to the root cause of the incident.
Two advanced skills included in the TapRooT® interviewing process that will dramatically improve interviewing skills are quickly building rapport with a witness and facilitating memory retrieval.
Often, evidence collection procedures start with witness statements and interviews that guide the investigator to other types of evidence to collect. However, an investigative interview can be a difficult task because of the emotional stress faced by a witness.
The TapRooT® 12-Step Interviewing Process is a proven, systematic approach that will improve investigation interviews. Productive interviews help investigators collect the quality and quantity of information necessary to determine root causes and prevent future incidents.
