Internal Workplace Investigations

Employers are sometimes faced with situations that require a thorough and objective investigation in the workplace. This can arise when there are different perceptions about what has happened or how a certain situation should be handled. This can involve everything from conflicts around leadership to allegations of violations of laws and internal policies, or assessments of whether there are objective reasons for termination or dismissal. Regardless of the nature of the situation, it is important that the employer acts correctly, quickly and legally in order to avoid future conflicts or legal penalties.

What type of workplace investigations can we carry out?

We offer a wide range of investigations that can be tailored to your specific needs:

  • Leadership: We investigate and evaluate the leadership of managers, especially in cases where there are divided opinions within the work group about the suitability or effectiveness of the leadership.
  • Factual reasons for termination or dismissal: We conduct investigations to determine whether there are objective reasons for termination or dismissal, based on an employee's behavior, performance, or violation of the employer's rules.
  • Violation of rules and policies: We investigate whether an employee has violated laws, ordinances, regulations, collective agreements or internal policy documents, and assess what consequences this may have for employment.
  • Unfair business practices: We conduct investigations into disloyal activities, such as an employee conducting competing activities or violating their loyalty commitment to the employer.
  • Privacy issues: We offer advice and conduct investigations on issues related to integrity, such as drug testing, monitoring of IT and telephony, and other integrity-related measures in the workplace.
  • Work environment, discrimination and harassment: We conduct independent investigations if there are suspicions of discrimination or harassment, including sexual harassment, to ensure that the employer acts in accordance with the law.
