Inside the Role of an Investigator
Through Altis, organizations gain access to experienced investigators with backgrounds in law, HR, compliance, conflict resolution, and public service. Many also bring specialized training in workplace investigations, mediation, and trauma-informed practices — expertise that allows them to handle sensitive cases with care and professionalism.
Investigators serve as independent fact-finders: they conduct interviews with complainants, respondents, and witnesses, review evidence, and assess the facts against organizational policies and Canadian workplace legislation, including Human Rights and Occupational Health & Safety standards.
At the end of the process, investigators deliver a confidential, defensible report that equips employers with the facts they need to take action. Their role is not to decide the outcome but to ensure every investigation is fair, impartial, and rooted in Canadian workplace standards.
Meeting Today’s Workplace Investigation Demands
The demand for independent workplace investigators has grown significantly in recent years, driven by evolving legislation and rising expectations for safe, respectful workplaces. In January 2021, amendments to Bill C-65 expanded the definition of workplace violence and harassment to include not only physical acts, but also non-physical behaviours such as intimidation, exclusion, and even repeated disrespectful gestures.
This broader definition has greatly increased the number of cases that may require review — and with it, the need for impartial, third-party investigations. Employers now face greater responsibility to respond to complaints quickly, fairly, and in alignment with Canadian legislation.
Independent investigators play a vital role in this process. They bring neutrality, experience, and discretion, ensuring that every investigation is thorough, defensible, and respectful to all parties involved. By relying on qualified investigators, organizations can mitigate risk, meet compliance obligations, and reinforce their commitment to safe, inclusive, and accountable workplaces.
