Workplace Investigation Lawyers HALIFAX, BEDFORD AND TANTALLON

A simple investigation pinpoints what happened in an individual circumstance. Recommendations are made on the validity of the human rights allegations and what steps should be taken to correct the immediate situation.

Workplace investigations include an interview process with the employees involved in the human rights complaint. These interviews include employees who are potential witnesses or employees who are involved in workplace misconduct. The information gathered by the employer in this investigation is used to determine the employer’s position and ultimately determine whether corrective action is needed.

Complex workplace investigations include systemic issues beyond the individual circumstances of the human rights complaint. Workplace investigators provide insight into the broader context that contributed to the allegation.

Recommendations can include systemic changes in policies, procedures, staffing, and organizational structures.
