When an incident is reported or a report of misconduct received, it is the obligation of the employer to ensure a workplace investigation is carried our fairly and appropriately. The team at ABLA have the experience required in handling these sensitive incidents, providing advice, facilitation or mediation.
It is not what you do, but often what you don't do that can make all the difference in an investigation. Poorly conducted investigations can lead to potentially unsound findings and present significant legal liabilities, crippling financial payouts and lasting brand damage that can be hard to recover from.
While you can't control how some people behave in your business, you can control the process of investigating that will protect your organisation and its reputation in the long run.
ABLA works with employers to prevent and minimise the impact that a workplace investigation can bring to a business. In a previous webinar shown below, Kyle Scott and Sam Cahill discuss the top 5 mistakes often made by an organisation when dealing with an investigation. Knowing what not to do is just as critical as knowing what to do.
Our team knows the importance of a fair investigation that will hold up in court, and we focus on the best outcome for your business at all times.
