Conducting workplace investigations is what we do

Employee investigations relate to a broad range of issues, from conduct to grievance, bullying, and disciplinary matters. And, from time to time, employers and HR departments need assistance in the conducting of the process. 

In many cases, an external HR Investigation Officer is the best option for conducting the HR investigation. That’s because independent workplace investigations are impartial and independent, an approach that means the Officer’s sole intention is to solve the issue as amicably as possible. 

Graphite HRM’s services includes a team of consultants who conduct all forms of workplace investigation services for businesses in all sectors, from the private sector to the charities sector. And we can do the same for you, saving you time and stress.

How much does it cost?

As each employee investigation is treated on its own merits, we base our fees on the time required to complete it. This is influenced by:

  • The number of employees to be included.
  • The number of departments involved. 
  • Industry-specific requirements that may be in place
