Workplace problems are rarely tidy. We help organisations deal with them properly, from formal investigations to the everyday people management issues that sit underneath most of them.

Investigations

When a grievance is raised or a disciplinary process begins, the investigation is the thing that matters. A weak one leaves you exposed: an appeal, a tribunal claim, or findings nobody can act on.

We carry out independent grievance and disciplinary investigations for organisations that need someone outside the room. The process is grounded in structured interview technique and employment law. It is built to hold up. That means following the evidence. Asking the right questions. Coming back with findings that are honest, clear, and defensible, even under scrutiny.

• Grievance investigations
• Disciplinary investigations
• Investigations involving harassment, bullying, or misconduct
• Cases where an internal investigator is not the right call

People management support

Most formal processes have a backstory. A conversation that kept getting postponed. A performance issue that felt awkward to raise. A policy that existed on paper but not in practice. We work with managers and HR leads on the employment relations challenges that tend to sit behind formal cases, including:

• Performance and absence management
• Conduct issues and early intervention
• Appeals and review processes
• Policy and procedure work
• Management coaching and support
