Employment investigations

Independent support to protect your organisation and your people

When concerns arise within a workforce, acting promptly and impartially is vital. But issues like claims of bullying and harassment or whistleblowing put real strain on HR and management teams, particularly when issues are sensitive, high profile or require specialist attention.

Our employment investigations service provides an experienced, external perspective that supports your organisation’s decision making while easing the workload on your internal teams.

Why organisations use external investigators

External support offers a clear benefit: investigations carried out impartially, diligently and at pace. This reduces the strain on internal teams and makes sure outcomes are fair, well reasoned and stand up to scrutiny. A timely, structured investigation also protects a business’ reputation and reinforces a positive and inclusive workplace culture.

How our support helps

Our national team of qualified investigators brings deep experience in HR investigations including bullying, whistleblowing, discrimination and harassment. We work in line with HR best practice, statutory requirements and your own internal procedures, providing an approach that is professional, balanced and reliable.

1. Complete investigation management

We manage the full process: planning the investigation, conducting interviews, gathering evidence and preparing the final report. We also provide insights and key themes to help drive improvements in your HR processes.

2. Support with sensitive cases

Where issues are emotive or reputationally significant, we offer calm, independent handling by experienced professionals.

3. On demand advice

Our investigations helpline provides immediate support for managers who need guidance on process or next steps.

4. Training and policy development
