Maintaining confidentiality is critical in investigations. At NFP, we ensure that all information is handled with the utmost discretion, protecting the privacy of all parties involved.
Long-term strategy
Post investigation, NFP can provide strategic recommendations to prevent future issues. This could involve changes to company policies, additional training, or other proactive measures.
The value of a third-party workplace investigation
Engaging an external investigations officer will ensure impartiality and objectivity. This is particularly valuable in sensitive cases where an internal investigator might have biases or conflict of interest. Such biases can compromise the integrity of the investigation and the overall trust in the investigative procedures.
Managing workplace conflicts can be sensitive and complex
By attempting to solve complex workplace disputes and allegations alone, you risk:
- legal non-compliance, which can lead to fines and other regulatory punishments
- overwhelming your teams with the responsibility of solving disputes themselves
- reputational damage as your business becomes associated with poor conflict management
- a decline in morale with your people questioning the integrity of their employer
NFP can help preserve workplace harmony and business reputation
Working with a specialist HR partner during workplace investigations can help you:
- avoid fines and punishments by ensuring you abide by intricate employment law
- save time and stress as the day-to-day tasks and admin are handled by your external partner
