Need Assistance with Workplace Investigation – Contact Our Workplace Relations and Legal Team

Conducting workplace investigations can be daunting, uncomfortable and in some instances time consuming. However, it is important when an employee raises a concern, regardless of the severity of the complaint or how it is made, that the complaint is acted upon appropriately and in a timely and professional manner.

There have been numerous instances where the mishandling of investigations or brushing complaints under the carpet results in a larger fall-out for the company and those involved. To avoid this, it is important that those carrying out the investigation do so in a fair and appropriate manner.

The Workplace Relations and Legal team possess a range of skills and expertise and can independently handle your investigation, whether it be an informal complaint to matters of more complexity and sensitivity. Our approach to each investigation ensures the matter is dealt with in a professional and confidential manner, arriving at a timely conclusion to the workplace disagreement.

Each investigation service can be tailored to suit your specific needs.

We can provide:

• full investigations services (end-to-end),
• conduct preliminary enquiries (to determine if an investigation is warranted),
• support and assist your internal investigators in conducting internal enquiries, and
• provide guidance to managers.

Conducting a thorough investigation can also provide insight to the underlying causes of the complaint. Other benefits of investigating disputes and grievances include:

• reduced sick leave,
• a safer working environment,
• higher productivity,
• positive workplace culture and employee attitudes,
• increased trusting employee relations, and
• decreased employee turnover.
