WRC recommends company act on bullying investigation procedures

By Orla Quinn

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC recommended that a local development company promptly consider and implement recommendations from an investigation into a Mediator’s bullying complaint. The recommendation, dated 28 March 2018, did not concede the worker’s claim or call for the investigation findings to be revisited. The worker challenged how the company investigated her complaint and sought a new inquiry by an agreed third party. The company said its external investigation was comprehensive and found no evidence supporting the bullying allegations. The adjudicator declined to revisit those findings, while noting the company’s commitments to improve future procedures, including consultation on investigator selection and circulation of draft reports for comment.
