Investigations

Third-Party Workplace Investigations

Beyond Sustainable Coaching provides third-party workplace investigation support for employers responding to misconduct concerns, harassment complaints, retaliation concerns, policy violations, leadership complaints, and sensitive employee relations matters.

BSC’s role is to gather relevant facts, review available information, conduct interviews when appropriate, and provide clear findings based on the defined scope.

Education only, not legal advice.

Third-Party Workplace Investigations

Neutral, structured workplace fact-finding for sensitive employee relations matters, workplace complaints, misconduct concerns, and policy violations.

How the Investigation Process Works

 

1. Intake & Conflict Check

BSC reviews the initial concern, involved parties, urgency, potential conflicts, and whether legal counsel should be involved.


2. Scope Confirmation

The investigation scope is defined, including allegations, time period, parties, policies, witnesses, evidence, and final deliverable.


3. Investigation Planning

BSC creates a structured plan for document review, interviews, evidence collection, confidentiality reminders, and anti-retaliation expectations.


4. Interviews & Evidence Review

Relevant parties and witnesses may be interviewed, and available documents, messages, policies, and other evidence are reviewed.


5. Findings Report

BSC provides factual findings based on available information and the defined scope.


6. Leadership Debrief

BSC reviews findings with the employer or designated decision-maker and may recommend HR process, training, communication, or follow-up considerations.

When to Involve Counsel

BSC provides HR, employee relations, workplace fact-finding, compliance education, and advisory support. Services do not constitute legal advice or determine legal liability. 

 

When Legal Counsel May Be Recommended:


Some workplace concerns may require legal counsel involvement before or during the investigation process. BSC may recommend that the employer consult employment counsel when the matter involves active claims, attorney letters, agency charges, litigation threats, severe misconduct, protected leave or accommodation issues, executive allegations, or high-risk employment decisions.


Counsel review may be recommended when:

  • An attorney letter has been received 
  • An agency charge or complaint has been filed 
  • Litigation has been threatened 
  • The complaint involves senior leadership or ownership 
  • Termination or discipline is being considered 
  • Retaliation is alleged 
  • Harassment or discrimination allegations are complex 
  • Protected leave, disability accommodation, or workers’ compensation issues overlap 
  • The organization needs legal privilege or legal strategy
