As the frequency and complexity of workplace investigations rises, how can employers enhance their processes to mitigate investigation risk and safeguard their people? This episode considers the challenges of workplace investigations and how companies can respond. 

Workplace investigations can take many forms and be triggered by many different issues. In this episode we look at how allegations of misconduct can arise (from whistleblowing to regulatory action and more), why these are on the increase, and the challenges of managing different processes simultaneously. 

Together, Ashurst colleagues Neil Donovan, Ruby Hamid, and Hannah Martin discuss the increased scope of what is now considered misconduct, as well as the heightened expectations on employers to prevent misconduct from happening in the first place. The trio also reflect on the risks for employers that fail to take employees’ concerns seriously and they provide several practical pointers to enhance company policies and investigations.
