Investigations

You think you’re doing it all right when an employee makes an informal (or formal), verbal or written complaint against the company, their supervisor, and/or their coworker.  Now you don’t know what to do! What are the next steps? You don’t know how to protect the abused, the accused, or the company culture you’ve worked so hard to build!

As the employer you may not know that you should take immediate steps to stop the alleged conflict, protect involved parties, begin the investigation, and take appropriate corrective action to ensure illegal actions and/or inappropriate behavior cease immediately.

There are many advantages to engaging Arc Human Capital to conduct your independent investigation:

  • Our HR professionals are trained to ensure complaints are handled in accordance with applicable laws.
  • We can help the organization identify and resolve problems before they become widespread.
  • Every complaint has the potential to become a lawsuit so employers should investigate every case with an understanding it could be presented in a court of law.
  • If Arc Human Capital conducts the investigation a firewall is preserved between your attorney and your issue thus preserving your attorney’s ability to litigate the case if necessary.
  • Addressing complaints before they escalate can help your company maintain your reputation and avoid negative press.
  • Conducting a prompt, thorough investigation shows commitment to your people and your values. Delaying doesn’t help. Things don’t blow over, they blow up.
  • We’re neutral, objective, and analytical with no political agenda and will look to determine the difference between minor infractions and major violations. 
  • We’ve conducted investigations for clients before. We ensure confidentiality, provide interim protection, create an investigation plan, develop interview questions, conduct interviews, develop a written report of the results, provide guidance for decision making, and closure of the investigation.
* We can arrange for translation of materials and interpreter services through our relationships with reputable firms
Investigations

Our goal is to ensure that if a court, jury, or government agency were to review the investigation results, the reviewers would conclude that you took the situation seriously, responded immediately and appropriately, and had a documented good-faith basis for any actions taken during, or as a result of, the investigation.
