How do you resolve stakeholder complaints?
Complaints, allegations, incidents, or disputes involving an employee and a service-user, stakeholder or client require a prompt response by the organisation.
An independent workplace investigation is a formal fact-finding process that must be conducted professionally from interview stage through to the final report. Types of worker-client issues requiring a formal investigation may include:
➤ Crossing professional boundaries e.g., becoming too personally involved, personally over-disclosing, overuse of touch
➤ Harassment e.g., sexual harassment, violence, abuse, threats, intimidation, gaslighting
➤ Misconduct or neglect e.g., breaking code of conduct, failing duty of care
➤ Quality of service dissatisfaction or disputes e.g., complaint of poor or unmet services
➤ Breaching privacy or confidentiality e.g., mishandling of client information, a suspected data breach involving a client's sensitive information
➤ Breach of safety or record keeping protocols causing risk or harm
➤ Historical conflict between the organisation and the stakeholder or family member.
