A focused approach to Workplace & Internal Investigations
An internal complaint can involve conflicting recollections and sensitive employment relationships. ISI helps authorized decision-makers gather a coherent factual record. The investigation begins with a defined issue, a reporting contact, and appropriate coordination with employment counsel or human resources.
What the investigation can include
Work can include interviews, chronology development, review of documents the organization is authorized to provide, and comparison of accounts. Interview notes distinguish what a person directly witnessed from what they heard from others.
Clear, documented findings
Findings are presented with the supporting facts and important limitations. The report records conflicting accounts and unresolved questions rather than smoothing them into an unsupported conclusion.
What to prepare before we speak
Provide the complaint, relevant policies, known witnesses, and the period under review. Establish who may authorize access, who will receive the report, and how evidence should be preserved.
Scope and practical limits
Employment decisions and legal determinations remain with the organization and its counsel. A private investigation does not replace required reporting or other applicable obligations.
