It takes a multi-disciplinary team of experienced investigators to provide effective, thorough, and prompt investigation services. This is what we do at HR Solutions At Work. Our expertise includes not only workplace investigations, but also investigations at colleges and universities of alleged conduct between and among students (e.g., hazing, sexual assault) and between faculty and students (e.g., discrimination, classroom accommodations).

We are available for a single investigation where internal resources are unavailable or on an ongoing basis as an external resource to add objectivity and bandwidth to an internal investigations team. Our team is experienced in investigating issues arising under virtually any workplace policy, for example:

• Workplace conflict
• Discrimination
• Workplace harassment
• Retaliation for engaging in protected activity
• Workplace accommodations
• Leaves of absence
• Bullying/standards of conduct
• Financial reporting
• Customer relationships

Workplaces across the country have changed dramatically over the last few years, whether related to new technologies or the advent of remote work. This new paradigm presents unique challenges for employers to engage and develop loyal, hard-working employees. Our multidisciplinary team of HR professionals will assess current company practices and help create and implement new systems that engage employees from the onboarding stage, as well as present opportunities for learning and development.
