Engaging HR and Investigators

Understand roles and responsibilities. Trigger investigations when appropriate and provide clear, organized information to the investigator.

Preparing Evidence

Preserve evidence, maintain chain of custody, and ensure privacy. Compile a concise timeline and relevant documents for review.

Interviews and Evidence

Plan interviews with fairness and consent. Document statements accurately and avoid leading questions. Seek corroborating evidence when possible.

Post Investigation Steps

Share findings with appropriate parties, implement corrective actions, and monitor outcomes. Ensure ongoing protection against retaliation.

Culture and Compliance

Use findings to drive continuous improvement and training. Align actions with policy goals and legal requirements to reduce recurrence.
