Workplace Assessments

Unresolved or unaddressed conflict in the workplace breeds a host of untenable working conditions that can cause psychological harm to employees, disruptions to productivity, expensive, lengthy lawsuits, and negative publicity for employers.

At Reed Research, we know how disruptive and costly these conflicts can be. We exceed industry standards for investigator competency. We offer experienced, certified, trauma-informed workplace investigators committed to conducting fair and impartial investigations for your workplace. This is a critical component of your legal obligations as an employer to maintain a safe, healthy and respectful work environment free from harassment, discrimination and bullying.

We provide prompt, thorough, and confidential results that determine the root causes, make findings of fact, and recommend ways to prevent future incidents so you can resolve conflict and make clear, informed, and legally defensible decisions.

Furthermore, we provide timely workplace assessments tailored to your unique circumstances. These assessments are powerful tools for discovering potential conflict hotspots and concerns in your workspace, empowering you to proactively address them and prevent detrimental incidents.

Lastly, our expertise extends to restoring strained working relationships marred by conflict, ensuring a conducive and productive atmosphere for all stakeholders.

In addition, the goal is to provide statistics on the current state of awareness that the employees have about their rights and responsibilities and include their subjective experiences. Assessments can be conducted in several ways, such as confidential surveys and focused, confidential interviews, where participants’ information is aggregated to ensure anonymity. Assessments are mandatory as they relate to risks of violence and compel employers to have policies and programs to address workplace harassment and to set out how incidents or complaints of workplace harassment will be investigated and handled. Employer obligations to conduct assessments fall under the OHSA, CLC/Bill C-65, and Bill 168.
