Workplace bullying investigations require expertise, impartiality, and thorough understanding of legal frameworks. When allegations arise in your Geelong business, how you respond can significantly impact workplace culture, employee wellbeing, and potential legal consequences. Jolasers Investigations provides professional workplace bullying investigation services that ensure fair, thorough, and unbiased resolution processes.
Why External Workplace Bullying Investigations Matter
Internal vs external investigation approaches
External Investigation Benefits
- Complete impartiality and elimination of bias concerns
- Specialized expertise in workplace bullying legislation
- Protection from allegations of favoritism
- Legally defensible documentation and processes
- Reduced internal disruption during investigation
- Greater confidentiality for all parties involved
Internal Investigation Risks
- Perceived bias from involved parties
- Lack of specialized investigation expertise
- Potential for procedural errors with legal consequences
- Disruption to normal business operations
- Difficulty maintaining confidentiality
- Increased stress on internal HR resources
Workplace investigations conducted internally often lead to significant problems for Geelong businesses. When one party involved in the investigation alleges bias or favoritism, the entire process can be undermined. This is particularly common in bullying cases, where there is typically at least one aggrieved party who will scrutinize the investigation for any perceived flaws.
“In my experience, internal workplace bullying investigations frequently face challenges of perceived bias, regardless of how fairly they’re conducted. External investigators eliminate this concern entirely, providing a truly independent perspective that all parties can trust.”
By engaging an external professional workplace investigations company like Jolasers Investigations, your Geelong business eliminates any risk of bias allegations. This protects both your organization and ensures all employees receive fair treatment during what is often a difficult process.

The Cost-Effective Approach to Workplace Investigations
Industry Insight: Save on Investigation Costs
Here is a dirty little industry secret! Companies will often engage a law firm to conduct their workplace investigation, who have a high hourly rate, and the law firm then engages a workplace investigations company like Jolasers Investigations to undertake the investigation, who have a lower hourly rate.
Why not engage Jolasers Investigations at the lower hourly rate, and if you need a legal opinion, engage a law firm with their higher hourly rate for 2 hours, rather than the 15 – 25 hours of the investigation.
This direct approach can result in significant cost savings for your Geelong business while maintaining the same high-quality investigation process. By working directly with Jolasers Investigations, you’ll receive:
- The same professional investigation expertise
- Direct communication with your investigator
- Faster response times without intermediaries
- Comprehensive documentation and reporting
- Substantial cost savings on hourly rates
When legal advice is needed, we can seamlessly coordinate with your preferred legal counsel, ensuring you only pay premium legal rates for the specific legal guidance required.
