Investigation of inappropriate behavior in an expert team

An international organization requested in 2024 HR Plus to investigate cases of suspected inappropriate leadership and bullying in a white-collar team. The project consisted of three phases: data collection, internalization & analysis and reporting of the results. Markus Taina initiated the data collection by reviewing the materials, conducting interviews in relation to internal company policies and local legislation. As the project proceeded, a joint overview of the situation was built up and further detailed discussions were held between the parties involved – where needed. Markus prepared a report for the client including an analysis based on the data points to determine whether the claimed behavior had taken place. The report also included recommendations about improving HR practices. The findings were then discussed with company representatives and the HR team.
