Independent workplace investigations that are fair, thorough and defensible.

When serious workplace concerns arise, everyone involved needs confidence in the process. We conduct independent investigations into bullying, harassment, misconduct and other workplace concerns, with procedural fairness and respect throughout.

What a workplace investigation actually is

A workplace investigation is an independent fact-finding process. Its purpose is not to prove someone right or wrong before the evidence has been gathered. Instead, it establishes the facts through interviews, documentation and relevant evidence before providing objective findings.

Every participant has the opportunity to be heard, respond to information and participate in a process that is fair, confidential and impartial. A well-conducted investigation protects both individuals and organisations while reducing the risk of procedural errors and future legal challenges.

Why experience matters

Investigations require more than knowledge of employment law. They require sound judgement, the ability to ask difficult questions respectfully, assess credibility, manage sensitive situations and produce findings that withstand scrutiny.

With decades of experience across legal practice, employment matters, governance and dispute resolution, CRE8 Resolve brings both legal understanding and practical perspective to every investigation.

How an investigation works

Every investigation begins by establishing clear Terms of Reference that define the scope of the matter. Relevant documentation is reviewed before confidential interviews are conducted with the complainant, respondent and any witnesses.

Evidence is carefully assessed before findings are prepared in a comprehensive report. Where appropriate, recommendations may also be provided to help improve workplace practices and reduce future risk.
