Acquivera’s programs are designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of your HR team, enabling them to handle workplace issues effectively.
The process begins with an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and challenges. Upon agreement, a contract is drafted to outline the scope of work, and the investigation or other HR services proceed as planned.
The duration of an investigation varies based on factors like case complexity and the number of individuals involved. Nevertheless, efficiency is prioritized to ensure investigations are completed promptly while upholding thoroughness and impartiality.
Complaints related to bullying, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and workplace violence are thoroughly investigated. Other forms of misconduct are also addressed with a commitment to ensuring an impartial, comprehensive, and timely process.
If your organization is experiencing unresolved HR issues, such as harassment or discrimination complaints, conflict among employees, or requires specialized training, an external HR consultant can provide the specialized skills and objectivity needed to address these challenges effectively.
