Independent Workplace Investigations
ERS is licensed to undertake independent investigations for organisation in response to misconduct, complaints of bullying & harassment, sexual harassment or other situations where independent investigations would be effective.
We evaluate situations and provide organisations with advice on options, processes, risks, timeframes and potential outcomes.
Understanding when external third party investigations are required but more importantly when they may not be, is critical information for any employer faced with formal employee complaints.
We run investigations that meet the New Zealand’s standards. Supporting employers develop of “Terms of Reference” for an investigation, managing staff issues resulting from complaints, responding to complainants, respondents and ensuring employment rights are upheld along with other statutory requirements are core service provided when ERS is engaged to undertake an investigation.
Strategic and Informed Approach
Formal investigations can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive.
ERS ensures that an investigation is the right response and then implements that process effectively to manage risk.
We have developed a suite of tools and templates to run these processes efficiently to save you time while ensuring you have high quality information to make informed decisions to address workplace issues.
Experience is key to effective workplace investigations. ERS has undertaken this work for nearly 10 years in all areas of business.
We understand the legal framework and obligations of different jurisdictions, working with employers to ensure you have high quality information to enable effective decision making.
