WHEN TO ENGAGE COLWELL WORKPLACE
Independent investigation support when a workplace matter requires objective examination.
Colwell Workplace can provide independent investigation capability when a complaint, allegation or sensitive workplace matter requires a structured, impartial and procedurally fair process.
A SERIOUS WORKPLACE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE
A complaint involves allegations that require formal examination rather than informal resolution or internal management.
MISCONDUCT OR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR IS ALLEGED
Allegations concerning employee conduct or workplace behaviour require careful investigation and objective findings.
INTERNAL INVESTIGATION MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE
The sensitivity, seniority or circumstances of those involved mean an independent external investigator is preferable
BULLYING OR HARASSMENT HAS BEEN ALLEGED
Sensitive allegations require a structured process that carefully considers evidence and procedural fairness.
THE FACTS OF A WORKPLACE MATTER ARE UNCLEAR
Conflicting accounts, limited information or complex circumstances require structured fact-finding and evidence assessment.
THE ORGANISATION NEEDS A CLEAR INVESTIGATION OUTCOME
Decision-makers require an independent investigation report setting out the evidence, analysis and findings to inform subsequent organisational decisions.
