Workplace Investigations
Branding
I’m a paragraph. Double click me or click Edit Text, it's easy.
Allegations of bullying, fraud, harassment or misconduct have serious consequences for everyone involved. They can be highly personal, complicated and unpleasant and if mismanaged, can be very costly.
See how we can help you navigate through this challenging landscape.
WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS
Conflict in the workplace happens every day, and most of the time can be resolved through simple interventions.
But when conflict escalates beyond your ability to manage effectively, it can raise costly and disruptive allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination and other forms of misconduct.
If these issues are not addressed, they may result in continuing workplace problems and unnecessary costs to the employer. Employee morale may suffer, which could lead to increased absenteeism and WorkCover claims.
Few managers are experienced at investigating workplace complaints. Others have insufficient time to handle complex, emotional cases on top of their existing workload. In addition, if the investigation is run by an employee of the organisation, there is a risk of perceived bias towards either the complainant or the accused employee.
Outsourcing workplace investigations to an independent specialist is a practical, efficient and cost-effective option.
We investigate the matter with the end in mind- ensuring the process is fully compliant with legislative requirements for fairness- in process and substance.
Our investigation reports are clear, reliable and evidence based, providing you with a sound basis for decision making and resolution of the matter.
In many cases, post investigation support will be necessary to ensure that disrupted business operations can return to normal. Our HR Consulting service can provide you with the road map to getting your business back on track.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Workplace disputes don’t just affect the people directly involved—they can also take a toll on time, energy, morale and productivity.
Managing a dispute will generally require clear communication and documented responses. More complex matters may involve other employees, managers or relevant office holders participating in meetings, interviews or facilitated discussions.
In many cases, there is significant scope to resolve concerns early through constructive, HR-led processes. Whatever stage the matter has reached, we can help explore practical resolution options, restore effective working relationships and minimise disruption to your workplace.
Our dispute resolution expertise focuses on preserving relationships while finding amicable solutions.
As Accredited Mediators, Opus People Partners provides a tailored approach to each and every case to achieve cost-effective and harmonious outcomes. With industry-leading knowledge and extensive experience, we facilitate open discussions and guide your team towards a mutually agreeable resolution.
