Workplace investigations- internal vs. outsourced? Watch our video blog

Ever questioned whether you should handle workplace investigations internally or outsource?

As workplace investigation specialists, we have decided to share our expertise on all areas of workplace conflict and people management, giving you practical advice on how to get a handle on employee issues at all stages from both a HR and line management perspective.

Our series of video blogs will be covering issues from workplace investigations to workplace mediation.
The first in the series, hosted by Natalia Baker, our in-house expert, takes the time to discuss some of the common misconceptions about outsourcing the grievance handling process.

Three of the most common misconceptions, when it comes to outsourcing the grievance process are:

1.       Outsourced investigations take up too much time and expense to justify

2.       By handing over the investigation, we lose control of the process

3.       An outside investigator won’t be familiar without policies, procedures and culture

Natalia discusses these myths in more detail in the 5 minute video, so why not grab a cuppa and find out more here.

When a formal complaint or grievance is raised, People Resolutions can provide workplace investigations anywhere in the UK, carried out by professional, experienced and independent investigators.

We’ve been working with businesses and their people problems for 12 years and have so much to share with you about what works and what doesn’t.
