The news has been filled with high-profile workplace investigations, covering issues such as alleged discriminatory behaviours, harassment, toxic culture, and widespread bullying.
Failure to handle investigations well (whether in the context of grievance, disciplinary, whistleblowing or wider cultural issues) can create significant legal issues as well as generating cost and reputational risks for employers.
Jennifer Skeoch, Partner and Ilaria Moretti, Associate share their top tips for conducting workplace investigations.
We have an experienced investigations team who regularly support clients with a range of complex and highly sensitive matters, often involving a regulatory backdrop. We also provide training to both HR teams and managers on how to conduct effective internal investigations, with a view to minimising legal risk.
Please get in touch if you’d like a quote for our investigations masterclass which can be delivered to your teams (including managers) either in person or remotely.
