Workplace Investigation Risk Check
Does this grievance require a formal workplace investigation?
This 2-minute diagnostic assessment is designed to help determine:
- Whether a grievance meets the threshold for a formal, independent investigation
- Or whether the matter may be more appropriately managed through informal or internal processes
Knowing when a matter requires a formal investigation is critical.
