Investigation Intake and Assignment
When a report is received, an investigator is assigned. The intake step confirms the nature of the concern, the parties involved, and the scope of the investigation. The goal is to preserve safety and gather essential information without delay.
Evidence Collection and Interviews
Investigators gather relevant documents, messages, and records. They conduct interviews with the complainant, respondent, and witnesses in a respectful, objective manner. All information is documented securely and kept confidential to the extent possible.
Findings, Decisions, and Remedies
Based on evidence, investigators determine whether policy was violated. Outcomes may include corrective actions, policy updates, or training. Remedies address the impact on individuals and the work environment while maintaining fairness.
Communication, Documentation, and Appeals
Findings and outcomes are communicated to appropriate parties with sensitivity. Investigative records are stored securely. Affected employees may have the right to appeal or request a review under policy provisions.
