5. Workplace Investigation • Even in the best performing work teams, issues can arise that require independent assessment and advice when employee behaviours go outside what is considered appropriate. • When this occurs, the reasons can often be multi-layered and extremely complex to deal with and are almost inevitably impacted on by the past history, personalities, relationships and cultures within the workplace. Because of the realities of these types of circumstances, and in order to maintain a degree of impartiality, many organisations have found that the best way to resolve these situations when they arise is to engage an external, independent workplace investigator.

6. Workforce Restructuring • Workforce restructuring is a reality for all businesses over time, as they adjust to changing service demands, customer expectations, technological impacts on work practices and processes and changing economic circumstances. • Across the board budgetary reductions; Targeted reductions to some of the products or services undertaken by the organisation; Technological change that impacts on the numbers of staff required to perform both ‘front’ and ‘back’ of house functions; Mergers of organisations which means that a range of functions and services may be duplicated or have substantial overlaps, especially in the corporate and administrative support functions.
