Uphold integrity · Verify the facts · Inform your decisions
Our Approach
To safeguard the working environment, EQO has developed a rigorous, precise and adaptable internal investigation protocol, tailored to each client’s specific needs. Our expert investigators are deployed as soon as inappropriate or non-compliant conduct is reported, both in France and internationally, and this in strict compliance with all applicable regulations.
Supported by a diverse pool of experienced individuals, EQO is committed to guiding its clients towards decisions that are both appropriate and aligned with their ethical requirements.
Deployment of a pair of investigators with the profile and requisites that match the case and client’s needs (senior investigation, legal expert, psychologist, psychosocial risk specialist etc.)
Preparation and conduct of interviews tailored to each individual involved, along with the drafting of minutes and signing of the interview records to ensure confidentiality.
In-depth review and analysis of documents and other forms of material shared and collected with regards to the case.
Classification of the facts following their analysis and in light of the internal regulations and applicable legislation.
Oral debriefing with the client and presentation of clear and concise deliverables: investigation reports, action plans, strategic recommendations.
