HR Proactive Inc. leads the way in conducting Calgary-based workplace harassment investigations.
Profit By Proactive Prevention
Our company will conduct thorough investigations into allegations of workplace harassment. Complaints may include sexual harassment, bullying, threats of violence, and all other human rights protected grounds of harassment and discrimination, code of conduct violations or breach of company policy.
HR Proactive Inc. can provide a timely, thorough and fair investigation often leading to a cost-effective resolution. Complainants who are satisfied with the way in which the investigation was handled often choose not to avail themselves of their rights to other remedies under various human rights codes or grievances or wrongful dismissal. A timely response to the complaint shows the complainant that the organization takes the matter seriously and prevents problems from escalating. It is important to hear all sides of the story. Personal respondents who believe they have been given the opportunity to adequately prepare for an interview and be heard are more likely as well to choose to accept the findings and not pursue the matter further.
An employer should ensure that an investigation appropriate in the circumstances is conducted into incidents or complaints of workplace harassment.
