Workplace Cultural Review

Cultural Reviews

Designed to identify the source of workplace issues, a cultural review will also work to resolve issues across your workplace. When left unaddressed, a negative workplace culture can result in disengagement, making it difficult for organisations to improve morale. Our comprehensive approach to cultural review involves identifying potential hazards and making recommendations to create a more positive work environment.

Psychosocial Injury

Psychosocial Injuries

Psychosocial hazards are present in all situations and need to be managed carefully to ensure trauma is not exasperated further by a poorly conducted investigation process. By being aware of the presence of these hazards and managing them at an early stage, risks to the employee and employer can be reduced to a level that is a low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).

​

At Brennans, we have the capabilities and experience to effectively manage risks associated with psychosocial injury throughout the investigation process.

Check out our new psychosocial safety two-part blog series where we discuss identifying workplace hazards (part 1) and the impact this has on workplace culture (part 2).

Mental health Awareness across workplaces has increased in recent years, but we're still a long way from fully recognising it's impact and how businesses have a role in promoting social awareness and reducing stigma. Start promoting change by sourcing a reputable company to audit and identify psychosocial hazards in your workplace.

Why should I outsource our workplace investigation requirements?

Impartiality

Internal management and HR staff are the most common investigators of workplace misconduct. They know the most about the organisation’s policies and procedures and understand the culture of the workplace, however the main drawback of internal investigators is perceived bias. Maintaining impartiality is crucial to the success of an investigation and in appointing an external investigator this can be ensured because they are less likely to be perceived as possibly biased.

Experience

Outsourcing a workplace investigation specialist can also signal a serious commitment to addressing the issue at hand, demonstrating a steadfast objective to uphold the company's core values and integrity. This commitment reassures employees and indicates to external stakeholders that the company takes its ethical responsibilities seriously.

By leveraging the expertise of Brennan and Associates Workplace Investigation Services, we will ensure your requirements are conducted thoroughly and adhere to the best practices and legal standards with which we are familiar.

Time

Workplace investigations can significantly burden internal staff already managing their regular duties. They involve time consuming tasks including fact-finding, reviewing documentation, comprehensive and rigorous interviews and reporting of outcomes. Each step of the investigative process requires dedication of time and attention.

Risk Mitigation

Investigations often arise from serious complaints that, if not handled effectively, could result in anything from a simple complaint to more complex consequences including litigation. The complexities of workplace investigations requires a deep understanding of legal and regulatory requirements.  It is crucial that steps be taken at all times to not only minimise risk, but to also position the company in such a way that it has a defence towards any litigation.
