Workplace bullying allegations require prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation. For Bendigo businesses, managing these sensitive matters internally can create significant risks. Jolasers Investigations provides professional workplace bullying investigation services that ensure procedural fairness while protecting your organization from potential claims of bias or favoritism.

 

Why External Bendigo Workplace Bullying Investigation Services Matter

When workplace bullying allegations arise, the investigation process must be beyond reproach. Internal investigations, regardless of how well-intentioned, often face scrutiny from affected parties who may perceive bias or favoritism.

“In workplace bullying cases, perception is reality. When companies conduct investigations in-house, at least one party typically questions the process’s impartiality, potentially creating additional problems beyond the original complaint.”

Stephen Oliver, Director, Jolasers Investigations

By engaging Jolasers Investigations to conduct your Bendigo workplace bullying investigation, you eliminate the risk of perceived bias. Our independent investigators bring objectivity and specialized expertise to ensure a thorough, fair, and defensible process.

The Cost Advantage of Direct Engagement

Industry Insight: Many companies engage law firms to conduct workplace bullying investigations at premium hourly rates. These law firms often outsource the actual investigation work to specialist companies like Jolasers Investigations at lower rates while maintaining their higher billing structure.

Why pay premium legal rates for the entire investigation process? A more cost-effective approach is to engage Jolasers Investigations directly for your Bendigo workplace bullying investigation at our competitive rates. If legal advice is needed on specific aspects, you can engage a law firm for targeted consultation (typically 2 hours) rather than the entire 15-25 hour investigation process.

 

This approach provides the best of both worlds: professional investigation expertise and legal guidance when necessary, all while significantly reducing your overall costs.
