Discuss Your Investigation NeedsWhat Constitutes a Melbourne Workplace Investigation?
Professional workplace investigations require careful documentation and interviewing techniques
A workplace investigation is a formal process designed to gather information about alleged inappropriate behavior, policy violations, or legal breaches within an organization. These investigations are initiated in response to complaints or concerns raised by employees, management, or external parties.
The investigation process typically involves collecting evidence, interviewing relevant parties and witnesses, analyzing documentation, and preparing a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations. The goal is to establish facts, determine if misconduct occurred, and recommend appropriate actions.
Common Triggers for Workplace Investigations
- Allegations of harassment or discrimination
- Reports of bullying or threatening behavior
- Suspected policy violations or misconduct
- Conflicts between employees or departments
- Concerns about safety or compliance issues
Key Components of Effective Investigations
- Impartiality and objectivity throughout the process
- Confidentiality and discretion in handling sensitive information
- Thorough documentation of all evidence and interviews
- Compliance with relevant laws and workplace policies
- Clear communication with all involved parties
“When workplace issues arise, the quality of the investigation often determines whether the situation improves or deteriorates. A professional investigation creates a foundation for fair resolution and organizational healing.”
The Risks of Internal Workplace Investigations
While many organizations attempt to handle workplace investigations internally, this approach often leads to significant challenges and potential complications. Internal investigations conducted by managers or HR staff can create perceptions of bias, regardless of how fairly they’re conducted.
Risks of Internal Investigations
- Perceived bias or favoritism toward certain employees
- Lack of specialized investigation expertise and techniques
- Potential conflicts of interest affecting objectivity
- Increased vulnerability to legal challenges
- Difficulty maintaining confidentiality within the organization
- Time and resource drain on internal staff
Benefits of External Investigations
- Complete impartiality and independence
- Specialized expertise in investigation techniques
- Protection from allegations of favoritism
- Stronger legal defensibility of findings
- Enhanced confidentiality and discretion
- Preservation of internal resources and relationships
When workplace issues arise, there is typically at least one aggrieved party who will scrutinize the investigation process for any signs of bias or procedural errors. By engaging an external professional investigation service like Jolasers Investigations, you eliminate the risk of perceived favoritism and ensure a truly objective process that can withstand scrutiny.
External investigators bring objectivity and specialized expertise to workplace investigations
If you’re facing a workplace complaint or incident that requires investigation, acting quickly is essential. These situations tend to escalate rapidly and can become increasingly costly, especially if employees need to be suspended on full pay during the investigation process.

Industry Insight: The Cost-Effective Approach
Here’s a little-known industry secret: Many companies engage law firms to conduct workplace investigations at premium hourly rates, only to have those firms outsource the actual investigation to companies like Jolasers Investigations at lower rates.
Why not engage Jolasers Investigations directly at our more reasonable hourly rate? If you need legal advice on the findings, you can then consult with a law firm for just 2-3 hours rather than paying their premium rates for the entire 15-25 hour investigation process.
“We believe in making the investigation process as painless as possible for all participants. People are naturally nervous when facing an investigation interview, and our approach focuses on creating a respectful environment where accurate information can be shared without unnecessary stress.”
