Independent Enquiries Into Workplace Allegations
Independents conducts unbiased enquiries into workplace allegations. Increasingly, senior management are faced with an environment where they have to decide whether or not someone has stepped out of line. Failing to follow a rigorous process could result in a wronged party taking out a Personal Grievance.
Independents is focused on being objective by reaching conclusions which are logically derived from facts we can corroborate. We step in where emotions can be running high and people feel vulnerable. Our approach helps foster a feeling of fairness towards both the process and its outcome; especially important where management wish to be seen to be unbiased.
Mike’s strong auditing background; ability to think and report logically; and his extensive knowledge of required process and legal impacts in the people management arena, make his enquiry reports invaluable to you.
We can help if you are facing any of these sorts of situations:
Misconduct by a manager
Alleged serious misconduct by a manager where the organisation may be expected to be biased in the manager's favour.
Misconduct by a staff member
Alleged serious misconduct by a staff member where the organisation wants to be clear they are not unfairly treating the employee.
Legal Challenge or Similar
You may want to rely on an investigative report when facing a legal challenge or similar
Public Allegation
A member of the public has brought an allegation against an employee in an organisation with public accountability and you want to show there is no cover up.
Being Christchurch-based we are ideally suited to work anywhere in the South Island
