Employers and organizations face an ever-increasing number of complaints, grievances and allegations involving workplace performance issues, discipline, harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination, and corporate compliance. These issues arise with employees, executives, supervisors, clients and contractors, and often require an independent and substantive investigation into the facts and circumstances so that informed decisions can be made concerning risk exposure and so that corrective action may be taken in accordance with applicable law.

Using an outside neutral to investigate workplace disputes lends credibility to the process and allows for an impartial review of the facts and circumstances. A neutral workplace investigator can systematically move the process in a positive direction while providing valuable factual information and recommendations to an organization. The neutral investigation also removes the burden from human resources staff and counsel who most often know and work with the affected parties on a continuing basis, and who may need to remain uninvolved should the matter proceed to litigation.
