SWIFT, INDEPENDENT AND EXPERT
Reviews & Workplace Investigations
Independent workplace investigations that help you find the facts and move forward with confidence
Workplace complaints are never easy.
Whether the issue involves bullying, harassment, discrimination, misconduct, underperformance or a breakdown in workplace relationships, how you respond matters. Employers are often required to make important decisions while balancing legal obligations, employee wellbeing, workplace culture and organisational risk.
At Workplace Wizards, we conduct independent workplace investigations and workplace reviews that help organisations understand what has occurred, make informed decisions and address concerns fairly and appropriately.
Our approach is practical, thorough and focused on achieving a timely resolution while maintaining procedural fairness for everyone involved.
Workplace Reviews
Having said that, sometimes the question isn’t what happened? It’s why is this happening?
Workplace reviews take a broader view than an investigation, examining the systems, structures and workplace dynamics contributing to organisational challenges.
We help organisations assess culture, psychosocial safety, workforce effectiveness, leadership, governance and team performance, providing practical recommendations that support lasting improvement and positive workplace change.
We conduct independent reviews of workplace culture, psychosocial health and safety, workforce efficiency and effectiveness, governance practices, leadership capability, organisational structures and team dynamics.
These reviews can be particularly valuable where there are recurring complaints, high levels of conflict, employee turnover, organisational change or concerns about workplace culture. Drawing on our experience conducting large-scale reviews across government, statutory authorities, local government, not-for-profit and private sector organisations, we provide practical, evidence-based recommendations that help organisations strengthen culture, improve workplace relationships, enhance safety and create more effective and productive workplaces.
Common workplace reviews include:
- Organisational or team reviews to determine workforce strategy and structure
- Operating model reviews
- Workplace culture reviews
- Psychosocial health and safety reviews
- Workforce efficiency and effectiveness reviews
- Leadership and governance reviews
- Team dynamics and workplace relationship reviews
- Organisational health checks
- Employee experience and engagement reviews
- Reviews arising from complaints or identified workplace risks
- Independent organisational reviews following significant workplace concerns
When Do You Need an Investigation?
A workplace investigation may be appropriate when an employer receives a complaint or becomes aware of conduct that may breach workplace policies, employment obligations or behavioural expectations.
Common matters that may require investigation include:
- Workplace bullying and harassment
- Sexual harassment complaints
- Discrimination and victimisation allegations
- Employee misconduct
- Serious misconduct
- Fraud or theft
- Workplace conflict
- Breaches of workplace policies
- Underperformance concerns
- Health and safety issues
Addressing concerns promptly and appropriately helps organisations manage risk, maintain trust and create a safer and more accountable workplace.
What is an investigation and review
A workplace investigation is a structured process used to determine what happened, why and what should happen next.
The purpose is to gather relevant information, assess available evidence and make findings based on facts rather than assumptions.
A workplace investigation and review may involve:
- Reviewing relevant documents and evidence
- Conducting interviews with involved parties and witnesses
- Assessing workplace policies and procedures
- Gathering and analysing information
- Making findings based on the available evidence
- Preparing a workplace investigation report
Depending on the circumstances, the outcome may inform decisions relating to performance management, disciplinary action, workplace changes or other organisational responses.
How We Help
Our experienced workplace investigators manage investigations from start to finish.
Independent Workplace Investigations
We conduct impartial investigations into workplace complaints and employee concerns, ensuring the process is fair, objective and evidence-based.
Evidence Gathering and Analysis
We collect and review all relevant information, including documentation, records, witness statements and other available evidence.
Workplace Interviews
We conduct professional interviews with stakeholders, complainants, respondents and relevant witnesses to ensure all perspectives are appropriately considered.
Findings and Reports
At the conclusion of the process, we provide a comprehensive report outlining:
- The scope of the investigation/review investigated
- Information considered
- Findings reached
- Reasons supporting those findings
Where appropriate, we may also provide recommendations to help organisations address risks and strengthen workplace practices moving forward.
More than resolving the immediate issue
A workplace investigation should do more than determine whether allegations are substantiated.
Many investigations reveal broader opportunities to improve:
- Workplace culture
- Leadership capability
- Communication practices
- Workplace policies and procedures
- Employee expectations and accountability
- Risk management processes
By addressing the underlying causes of workplace issues, organisations can reduce the likelihood of similar concerns arising in the future.
