A workplace complaint will invariably require a workplace investigation to be conducted to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support that a person engaged in inappropriate conduct. A properly conducted investigation is essential as otherwise this will negate any further action taken in relation to the matter, such as disciplinary action, and may even result in a valid unfair dismissal claim. Many employers prefer to outsource investigations to an external workplace investigator in order to avoid any perception of bias.
How we can help

We can conduct a workplace investigation in the role of an independent workplace investigator.
