WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS

Workplace Investigations: Investigations into Bullying & Harassment Complaints, Grievances, Protected Disclosures and Potential Disciplinary Problems.

Why Are Workplace Investigations Important?

There are a lot of circumstances that will arise in your workplace that will need a strong independent investigation to be carried out before  any further procedures or processes  need to be initiated,such As:

• Alleged misconduct such as abuse of company resources and theft
• Bullying and harassment complaints raised by employees against colleagues, managers or other Individuals
• Alleged breaches of policies and procedures
• Grievances raised by employees about workplace issues or colleagues

HOW TO CONDUCT YOUR WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS:

It’s vital that any workplace investigation is carried out in a fair and transparent manner that creates evidence based on soft data to inform any further stages that may be important, such as a disciplinary hearing.  It’s also important that the workplace investigation stage of a process is carried out by a professional who will not be involved in any future stages that may arise on the findings of an investigation. In addition to this, the rules of natural justice, different statutory codes of practice and specific organisational procedures will need to be thought about in how allegations and complaints are investigated including:

• Your employees to be allowed to respond fully to any allegations raised against them
• The right of your employees to have a fair and unbiased hearing
• The right to have relevant evidence and witness accounts Studied
• Employees have the right to be accompanied at an investigation meeting

Why Choose an Independent Investigator?

Many times businesses because of their size or because of the complexity of the problems involved will not have the ability or the expertise to carry out proper investigations, and this leaves your business exposed to litigation and your processes being seen as  unfair in the eyes of the law, even when there may have been good prove that is available to support allegations of misconduct or employee complaints in your business.
