A workplace investigation should not be run by the people complained about. I can’t say this enough. If they are running it, it’s not an investigation. It’s a cover-up. Yet, this is exactly what happens in toxic workplaces. They investigate themselves, they protect themselves and then they call it “procedural fairness.” The outcome is already decided and they are just pretending to take a complaint seriously. Is there • A genuinely independent investigator (not their HR, not their mate, not someone on their payroll). • A real response to the allegations with evidence. • Clear information about the process, the scope and who is making the decision. • Protection from retaliation during and after the investigation. • Access to documents, witness statements and what’s actually being said. • Enough time to respond, instead of being rushed. If you don’t get these, it’s not fair. It’s a set-up. Don’t be fooled. Do you agree?
