The Challenge
Workplace investigations can generate anxiety in the workplace and lead to further disruptions. Careful planning and execution are key to ensure the success of the review and to minimize undesired impacts. It is not always obvious how to explain your decision regarding an investigation, regardless of the seriousness of the events.

There are many factors to consider and manage simultaneously. There are well-established principles that can facilitate this process. Knowing how to properly leverage them in a timely fashion is essential and critical. Managing these situations properly will save time and money and improve employee engagement.

Worse, the opportunity to collect objective information to reward excellence or adjust and manage poor performance is missed and the feeling of unfairness and disillusion develops within the organization.
