Investigate:
"to examine the particulars of a subject in an attempt to learn the facts about it; in search of motive, cause or culprit."
The definition is clear. Have you needed an investigator, a professional who listens intuitively and hears what is not being said? Has the answer to "why" been evading you?
- Is able to detect deceit in a formal complaint, verbal or written
- Has the skills involved in cognitive interviewing for the most accurate account of an incident
- Can evaluate if an employee is falsely accepting or casting blame.
Do I Need a Trained Labor Investigator?
In investigations, time is always of the essence for obtaining accurate statements. Whether representing plaintiff or defendant, the most thorough information comes from using an experienced investigator. HR staff may not always be qualified in investigative techniques and are frequently too close to issues and witnesses for objective reporting. An attorney should never have to worry about being a witness in his or her own case after having acted as the investigator.
