Consulting/Assisted Investigation Services

Q Workplace Solutions recognises that not every investigation will, or should, be conducted externally. Q Workplace Solutions is ideally placed to provide guidance and support to managers and HR professionals around how best to conduct efficient and effective internal workplace investigations.

The types of services we could provide to support your team include:

• Having a briefing meeting/phone call in the initial stages of an investigation to discuss and advise on process going forward
• Assisting with investigation documentation and providing precedent documents to assist in the investigation process (such as terms of reference, list of allegations, interview protocols, correspondence to witnesses, witness statements)
• Assisting with preparing an investigation plan
• Ongoing support and assistance with the investigation process, including reviewing evidence, advising on witness interview techniques and questioning, dealing with challenges and next steps in the process
• Assisting with considering and weighing up the evidence and making findings
• Reviewing documents prepared as part of the investigation including any draft investigation report
• Assisting with preparing a written investigation report
• Being available to answer investigation related questions throughout the process

Our team can engage at all levels within your organisation. We frequently provide investigation support to HR managers, HR business partners, inhouse counsel, company directors and others involved in internal workplace investigation processes.

As experts in workplace investigations, Q Workplace Solutions utilises the team’s extensive experience as legal practitioners, investigators and trainers to provide guidance and support on effective and transparent processes that can withstand legal scrutiny.
