When to use an Independent Workplace Investigator?

Your organisation may benefit from engaging an independent workplace investigator if:

• The matter cannot be objectively handled internally, or if your organisation lacks the necessary skills or resources.

• Your internal HR personnel feel uncomfortable or unable to undertake the investigation process impartially.

• The investigation involves senior employees.

• The investigation outcome is likely to undergo an external review.

Our Approach

We conduct efficient, thorough, and discreet investigations, ensuring confidentiality, impartiality, and fairness to all employees involved:

• We initiate discussions with you to agree on investigation as the optimal strategy for resolving the complaint and define the scope of the investigation, including specific allegations to be examined.

• Interviews with relevant employees are conducted either in person at our fully functional hybrid workplace or via video conference

• All collected evidence is meticulously reviewed and assessed for contradictions, with further exploration conducted as necessary.

• Both the complainant and respondent are given an opportunity to review and provide comments on any evidence that contradicts or differs from their position.

• Comprehensive analysis of all evidence leads to conclusive findings of fact and, upon request, commentary on potential breaches of your workplace policies and procedures.

• We prepare an investigation report that clearly outlines the allegations and our findings, attaching all collected evidence to provide a solid foundation for informed decision-making.

• Where appropriate, we can recommend strategies for post-investigation support aimed at rebuilding working relationships.
