Workplace Investigations
for employers
People focused. Resolution driven.
When a complaint or incident arises, how you handle it matters for your people and your business. We can investigate on your behalf, or guide your team through running the investigation yourselves.
Book a conversationConsidered advice
A complaint of bullying, sexual harassment or discrimination is one of the harder things an employer has to handle and how you run the investigation shapes what happens next.
The risks climb: an unfair outcome, a legal challenge, and lasting damage to your business and reputation.
You protect your people and your business and you can be informed before you act.
Two ways we help with investigations
We can conduct the investigation for you, or guide you through running your own. Either way, we aim for the process to be rigorous, impartial and timely.
Guiding your own investigation
For many workplace matters, the right approach is for you to run the investigation with our guidance. We guide you through each step so the investigation is run with a view to being rigorous, impartial and timely. Allegations put fairly, responses properly considered, and findings that rest on the evidence.
Conducting the investigation for you
Sometimes the investigation needs to be taken off your hands entirely, where a matter is serious or sensitive, or where your team is too close to it.
Where that is the case, we conduct the investigation for you: we interview the people involved, weigh the evidence and provide you with a written report of our findings.
