Workplace Investigations

Overview

Organizations striving to empower employees maintain a psychological contract between employer and employee.

To empowering organizations, people are the greatest asset.  External, empathetic interpersonal interactions with customers build fruitful longer-term business relationships. Internally, top to bottom respect and empathy build trust significantly improving organisational efficiency and security.

Nonetheless, decentralized decision making with minimal oversight comes with its own set of challenges. Understanding how to manage people in an empowerment structure either positively or negatively impacts security and, on occasion. it is inevitable this may not be enough. Even the smallest of problems cannot be ignored in empowered organizations. Failure to address issues can manifest into serious damage both costly and time consuming to repair. The “understanding” is how to manage “even the smallest of these problems” applying behavioral insights.

When substantive employer to employee and employee to customer issues arise, everyone is watching how their colleagues are treated as information is gathered to get to the root cause of problems for making recommendations on how these problems ought to be treated. If employees feel their colleagues are being treated unfairly or unjustly, it can have serious consequences on your empowerment strategy and internal security.

The operative word is “feelings”. When there are troubles employees don’t think about it rationally. Their emotions guide how they think about the legitimacy of the actions taken by their mangers and employer. When it is all said and done, employees want to be treated with dignity and respect. Therefore, the manner in which an organization responds to identified issues are how they are addressed is critical.

We offer a range of developmental programs which provide practical solutions for all levels and types of issues that may occur and in a way that feels legitimate to employees.
