During an internal investigation
human resource professionals can be “caught in the middle” while
trying to do their job. The complaint might be at a high-level
or tangled with on-going litigation or your HR organization may
not have staff with experience in investigations or possess
investigative skill sets.
Using an independent, third-party
fact-finder demonstrates a proactive approach to ensure that a
system of checks and balances are in place, increasing the
credibility of the investigation and helping to avoid
accusations of impartiality.
The HR Consultant has
performed many high-level, sensitive fact-findings, often
working with outside counsel or in-house counsel to keep the
process objective, confidential and to preserve attorney-client
privilege where possible. And with the unique asset of having team members with
federal investigative experience, we understand that the
investigation process should be taken care of situations
quickly, efficiently and completely.
