Dealing swiftly, proportionately and appropriately with workplace issues such as employee complaints and potential employee misconduct or serious misconduct, is crucial and can save an organisation time, money and contribute to its reputation as a fair, responsible and reasonable employer. Furthermore, there is an increasing call in the modern workplace for investigations to be carried out in order to establish whether or not complaints or grievances are well founded, and to reliably establish the facts about certain matters before important decisions are made.

If workplace investigations are to serve their purpose, it is imperative that they are conducted efficiently and the reports emanating from them are coherent and sound; essentially that they and the investigatory procedure behind them can stand up to critical scrutiny, sometimes in a court or tribunal setting.
