Workplace Investigations

Ensuring an investigation is conducted under the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice is essential in any workplace investigation. Procedural fairness refers to the process by which a decision is made and the rules that must be followed in making that decision. Natural justice, on the other hand, refers to the basic principles of fairness and equity that are applied in decision-making.
There are many benefits to ensuring an investigation is conducted under these principles. Firstly, it ensures that all parties involved are given a fair hearing and that no bias or prejudice is present in the decision-making process. It also promotes transparency and accountability, which is important in maintaining trust between employees and management.
Engaging an external independent workplace investigator can also be highly beneficial. An external investigator can provide an impartial and objective view of the situation and can bring a fresh perspective to the investigation. They can also help to avoid any potential conflicts of interest that may arise if an internal employee is tasked with conducting the investigation.
