We provide our expertise to effectively conduct any and all types of workplace investigations including, but not limited to, bullying & harassment, human rights, and violence in the workplace. Cases of alleged misconduct can command an inordinate amount of time and effort from local Management. In some cases, a Client may not have the expertise needed to effectively carry out a proper investigation. Or, the Respondent in a complaint may be a Manager and an unbiased third-party investigator may be required.

- all facts are gathered
- all policies are followed
- confidentiality is maintained (i.e. to the extent of the law)
- emotions and negative reprisals are effectively controlled
- documentation is clear and comprehensive
- best practices of workplace investigation/investigative interviews are followed
- representational rights are provided, and privacy law is followed
