An Independent workplace investigator will a provide a clear, professional process for managing misconduct allegations. Their job is not to take sides but to uncover facts in a fair and confidential manner. Here is what they typically do:
- Meet with key stakeholders to understand the complaint
- Review policies and develop a scope for the investigation
- Gather evidence including documents, emails, and interviews
- Assess the credibility of accounts and make findings of fact
- Produce a detailed report linking findings to relevant policies or laws
Throughout this process, investigators prioritise discretion and procedural fairness. Investigations are often sensitive, and how they are managed can impact workplace relationships for years. Independent investigators are trained to minimise disruption while maintaining a robust process.
They also provide support to help organisations manage risks after the investigation is complete. This might include advice on disciplinary outcomes, communication strategies, or managing the return to work process.
A workplace investigator brings structure, neutrality, and legal defensibility to what can otherwise be a stressful and complex issue. Their involvement not only protects organisations from legal and reputational risk but also reassures staff that concerns will be handled seriously and fairly. For businesses committed to fostering a culture of accountability and trust, this service offers both peace of mind and strategic value.
