in-person and remote mandates
A reliable process for difficult workplace issues.
An external investigator may be appropriate where allegations involve senior personnel, internal neutrality could be questioned, credibility findings are required, or the matter may later face legal or regulatory scrutiny.
Harassment & bullying
Complaints involving intimidation, hostility, inappropriate conduct or a poisoned work environment.
Sexual harassment
Sensitive, impartial fact-finding with careful attention to the evidence and the parties.
Human rights
Allegations of discrimination, adverse treatment, accommodation failures and reprisal.
Senior personnel
Independent review of complaints involving managers, executives, boards or conflicts of interest.
Reprisal & retaliation
Whether an employee experienced punishment or disadvantage after raising a workplace concern.
Workplace misconduct
Policy breaches, safety concerns and other serious allegations requiring reliable findings.
Careful at every stage.
Define the mandate
Identify the allegations, scope and issues that must be decided.
Gather the evidence
Review relevant records and interview the parties and witnesses.
Assess fairly
Consider conflicting accounts, credibility and exculpatory evidence.
Report clearly
Deliver organized findings grounded in the balance of probabilities.
The investigation may end. Its consequences may not.
An investigation report can become the foundation of a serious employment decision—and may later be examined in litigation, arbitration or a regulatory proceeding.
David Harris brings the evidentiary judgment developed through decades of employment litigation, human-rights work and legal writing to every mandate.
