● Our Services
-
At Woven, we specialise in conducting independent, impartial and efficient workplace investigations. We appreciate that the investigation’s integrity depends on the quality of the information we gather and our adherence to a fair process. We are adept at communicating the process, gaining trust and interviewing participants to obtain relevant information. We present our findings to you in a clear and succinct manner. We get you the information you need to take the next steps.

Our independent workplace reviews can help you identify and address any issues within a team or workplace early on. When something doesn’t seem right – where there is increased turnover, low employee survey results, high sick leave or informal concerns being raised - we take a deep dive. Our review process identifies what is working well, what is not and what can be done better. We build a rapport with your people to ensure they feel comfortable to share issues that are impacting them at work. We recommend practical steps to address any issues identified . These recommendations enable you to make real improvements to ensure your people are working positively and collaboratively within a safe and supportive working environment.

Woven provides tailored investigation training to internal teams. We share the insights we have gained through hundreds of investigation processes. We outline:
investigation best practice,
how to navigate the potential pitfalls that can inevitably arise; and
how to assess evidence and make robust findings.
