Independent Workplace and HR Investigations

Our comprehensive investigation service provides organisations with expert, independent management of complex workplace situations. We handle the entire process, allowing you to focus on your core business operations while ensuring a thorough and impartial investigation.

We deliver our services through a structured yet flexible approach, beginning with an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and establish a clear scope. Following agreement, we develop detailed Terms of Reference that guide the investigation process.

Our end-to-end management ensures consistent quality and regular stakeholder updates, with most investigations completed within our target 6-week timeframe. Each investigation concludes with a detailed, quality-assured report containing clear findings and actionable recommendations.

Areas of expertise

Workplace bullying & harassment investigations

We conduct thorough examinations of behavioural complaints, carefully assessing incidents against relevant policies and procedures. Our approach considers both individual incidents and potential patterns of behaviour, evaluating the impact on all parties involved. Through detailed analysis, we provide specific recommendations for resolution and future prevention.

Discrimination claims

Our expertise in discrimination investigations includes comprehensive analysis of issues involving protected characteristics. We examine both direct and indirect discrimination claims, conducting thorough reviews of workplace practices to identify any systemic issues. Our recommendations focus on both immediate resolution and long-term compliance, helping organisations create more inclusive environments.

Misconduct investigations

When handling misconduct cases, we employ comprehensive evidence gathering techniques while ensuring procedural fairness throughout the process. Our investigations assess actions against established policies and procedures, resulting in clear findings on specific allegations. Each report includes practical recommendations for addressing identified issues and preventing future occurrences.

Policy violations

Our approach to policy violation investigations combines detailed analysis of relevant policies with evidence-based assessment of compliance. We evaluate both immediate impacts and potential systemic issues, providing recommendations that address current violations while strengthening future compliance. Our findings help organisations improve policy implementation and effectiveness.

Retaliation and victimisation claims

These sensitive investigations require careful timeline analysis and assessment of causation between protected actions and alleged retaliation. We identify behavioural patterns and evaluate protected disclosure considerations, delivering findings that help organisations address immediate concerns while developing stronger protective measures for the future.

Every investigation benefits from our rigorous quality assurance process, ensuring consistent standards and reliable outcomes. Our findings and recommendations are always:

  • Evidence-based and clearly reasoned
