This week in the bar, Kate and Greg are joined by investigations expert Scott McLintock to unpack the complex reality of workplace investigations—and why they’re rarely as simple as “finding the truth.”
This week in the bar, Kate and Greg are joined by investigations expert Scott McLintock to unpack the complex reality of workplace investigations—and why they’re rarely as simple as “finding the truth.”
As a follow-on from Episode 2: Workplace investigations and safe systems of work, Kate and Greg explore the human, legal and organisational dynamics that play out throughout an investigation process. From navigating competing perspectives and “multiple truths,” to managing legal risk, psychological harm and unintended consequences, the discussion highlights how investigations can ultimately shape, or destabilise workplace culture.
The key takeaway?
Before launching an investigation, ask yourself…..do we actually need one, or do we need to lean in and actively manage the situation?
A sharp, thoughtful and at times sobering conversation about discretion, fairness and keeping people at the centre when things go wrong.
