Workplace Investigation Services Across Sydney.
Our workplace investigations in Sydney are tailored to address the unique circumstances of each matter, aligning with the specific needs and requirements of your organisation and industry sector.
Misconduct Investigations
When workplace behaviour raises concerns of bullying, harassment, or other misconduct, our investigations provide a formal and structured approach to deliver impartial and balanced findings. Whether it’s a minor infraction, or serious misconduct—sometimes referred to as “gross misconduct”—we focus on determining whether your organisation's standards, code of conduct, procedures, and policies have been breached, assessed against the relevant standard of proof.
Grievance Investigations
Workplace conflicts, disagreements, and disputes are inevitable. When not managed effectively, they can escalate, leading to strained relationships, reduced productivity, and potential health and safety risks.
Our grievance investigations for Sydney businesses address a wide range of issues, including:
- Interpersonal conflicts
- Leadership and management concerns
- Workload distribution
- Communication breakdowns
- Work environment factors
- Workplace culture or diversity / inclusion issues
- Toxic work environments
We focus on establishing facts, identifying underlying causes, resolving conflicts, and guiding corrective actions. This approach supports informed decision-making, enhances professional relationships, and fosters a safer, more collaborative workplace.
Fact-Finding & Initial Assessments
It is often not immediately clear how certain issues, complaints or allegations should be managed. In these situations, we provide thorough fact-finding and initial assessments to provide timely guidance on the most appropriate management mechanisms. Fact-finding gathers relevant information to clarify the issues, while initial assessments evaluate the matter to determine the best course of action. Together, these steps ensure alignment with your organisation’s protocols and, where applicable, compliance with regulatory standards, minimising the risk of unnecessary or misdirected escalation and its potential disruptions and impacts on those involved.
Privacy & Breach of Confidentiality Investigations
Privacy and confidentiality breaches can undermine trust and violate professional and legal standards. Our team investigates these delicate and often complex situations with discretion and sensitivity, ensuring confidentiality and adherence to industry regulations.
Experts in Charge
