Workplace Investigations and Interviewing

The purpose of the investigation may be to establish whether a crime has been committed. Perhaps a complaint has been raised, or an incident has happened which requires analysis. It may be a suspicion of malpractice, or the organisation is suffering from internal theft. Often, investigations can lead to supporting potential litigation and/or internal disciplinary procedures.
