5 steps to ensure your workplace investigation runs smoothly

Workplace investigations play a vital role in resolving disputes at work. 🤝


Informal action or a quiet word may not be enough when faced with serious conduct issues or grievances. 

Instead, you’ll need to investigate the matter - promptly and fairly - and do all you reasonably can to find out what’s happened.


Done well, investigations help protect your organisation by uncovering the facts and identifying any potential misconduct. They support informed and objective decisions and help to resolve matters for all involved.

On the flip side, if handled badly, workplace investigations can damage your reputation and could land you in legal hot water.🥵

For that reason, it’s crucial to get it right.


Workplace investigations varies in complexity, circumstances and facts, however, there are some general principles to follow which can lend a helping hand.


Our latest video runs through the steps to take to ensure your workplace investigation runs smoothly, minimises stress for all involved and avoids the risk of legal action. 👩‍⚖️
