Support for Conducting Workplace Investigations
By law, businesses must conduct a timely workplace investigation when they receive an employee complaint, particularly if it relates to harassment, sexual harassment, and violence in the workplace. While it can be conducted internally by a human resource department representative, many companies choose to bring in a third-party investigator, particularly if the subject is sensitive or if the complaint is against a member of the Upper Management team.
Hiring a law firm reduces the chance of biased decisions and ensures updated laws and policies are abided by. If you believe your business will benefit from a neutral third-party investigator, Suzanne Desrosiers Professional Corporation can help.
Reasons that businesses seek us out to conduct workplace investigations on their behalf include the following:
- The complaint is highly sensitive in nature.
- Senior individuals may be implicated.
- There is a possible conflict of interest.
- The allegations involve human rights violations or Ontario Health and Safety Act.
If you have a pending investigation, reach us to schedule a consultation. We’ll handle your case with care, providing a thorough investigation that gets to the heart of the matter in an unbiased and objective manner.
