WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS

Formal complaints of unethical behaviour at work or bullying, harassment, discrimination or conduct contrary to internal policies are impartially investigated.

Formal complaints of unethical behaviour at work or bullying, harassment, discrimination or conduct contrary to internal policies are impartially investigated.
During a workplace investigation, we:
- Discuss the matter with you to clearly identify the allegations and agree on the Terms of Reference for the Workplace Investigation.
- Review all relevant internal policies, documented procedures, codes of conduct, employment contracts, and professional standards where applicable.
- Conduct interviews with the employees and parties who are relevant to the allegations.
- Gather documentary evidence, including emails, text messages, file notes and digital evidence.
- Review and assess all the evidence gathered to identify whether any aspects are inconsistent with witness testimony.
- Provide the complainant(s) and respondent(s) with the opportunity to review and comment on possible inconsistencies.
- Provide a report that clearly sets out the allegations, evidence, analysis and findings.
- If requested, provide a separate report that includes a set of recommendations addressing the root cause of the complaint.
Mental Health in the Workplace - There is a diverse range of professional assistance and medical aid available to individuals who experience anxiety and depression. Regrettably, not all individuals seek out this assistance and are not comfortable discussing it, despite improved public awareness recently.
Some of the factors that contribute to mental health-related issues in the workplace stem from workplace misconduct or bullying, whether from colleagues or management; sexual harassment in the workplace; stress related to customer focus, including not being able to effectively address customer concerns regularly; and recovering from a workplace injury.
Other workplace anxieties and depression are ingrained in a domestic setting and are subsequently transferred or transported to the workplace. Despite being environmentally distinct, they have a significant impact on work performance, affect other colleagues, and can potentially impact safety concerns within the workplace.
Undiagnosed or ignored anxiety or depression in the workplace can lead to loss of productivity, workplace accidents or injury, and loss of employment. It can also have a negative impact on personal health.

Sexual Harassment / Bullying in the Workplace -Despite the prevailing public awareness, which encourages individuals to disclose incidents of sexual harassment, bullying, or misconduct in the workplace, regrettably, there are individuals who feel unable to access support services, including law enforcement.
Some of these reasons stem from apprehension, including the fear of being threatened, bullied, shamed, and discredited, as well as the apprehension of losing their job and compromising their reputation.
Other factors include apprehensions regarding the impact on their family, the family environment, and the relationship or marriage.
