Investigation of Employee Disputes

Employee disputes happen in every workplace.

Allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination, fraud and other misconduct may go straight into the “too hard basket” and ignored. This is not surprising – these issues are very difficult to deal with. They can be highly personal, complicated and unpleasant, and have serious consequences for the people involved.

If employee disputes are not investigated and addressed, they may result in continuing workplace problems and unnecessary costs to the employer. Employee morale may suffer, which could lead to increased absenteeism, employee WorkCover claims, and lower productivity.

Not many people like dealing with employee disputes, or have the time to manage time-consuming and emotional cases on top of their normal workload. In addition, if the investigation of workplace disputes is run by an employee of the organisation, there is always the risk of perceived bias towards either the complainant or the accused employee.

Outsourcing workplace investigations to an independent specialist is an efficient and cost-effective option. Worklogic’s consultants are:

• Experienced in running workplace investigations;
• Skilled at managing the matter for you in-house;
• Aware of the legal and business context of the company’s decision-making; and
• Aware of the importance of the written investigation report, from their past professional work as lawyers and managers.
