Need an independent workplace investigations expert? Our Gold Coast Workplace Investigations team can assist.

As an employer, it is almost inevitable that you will be faced with a complaint from one or a group of your employees at some stage. So why is it so important to ensure you conduct appropriate workplace investigations?

Employers must be able to establish the facts of what actually happened in order to make appropriate decisions for the matter. Without a thorough and considered approach, employers are more likely to make ill-informed decisions and face greater liability and potential litigation.

Getting it wrong can be costly. There are numerous avenues a disgruntled employee can choose such as unfair dismissal, adverse action, anti-bulling etc. The average cost of a workplace discrimination claim is $200,000. Which means that investing in a proper process to protect yourself and your business makes complete sense and could save you tens of thousands of dollars in the future.

Most employers fall into the trap of conducting a workplace investigation themselves or choosing the cheapest option possible. It is worth using an experienced workplace investigator who has solid experience and sound knowledge of the process – this will offer valuable protection down the track. Our Gold Coast workplace investigations team delivers professional workplace investigator services to help your organisation sit in a defensible position in the event a claim is raised by an employee.
