Workplace investigation

Objective | Thorough | Experienced

We specialize in conducting impartial workplace investigations related to harassment, bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment and workplace violence to name a few.  Our goal is to help employers limit risks, make informed people decisions and meet legal obligations under the Canada Labour Code (Bill C-65), Human Rights Code and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Bill 168 and Bill 132).

  • Harassment / bullying
