Case Study
Managing Amnesty International’s complex workplace investigations
In 2019, Amnesty International wanted to outsource their workplace investigations, both UK based and internationally, to an independent team of HR professionals.
They wanted an outsourced HR provider to undertake all their workplace investigations, including:
- Grievances
- Disciplinary allegations
- Whistleblowing
- Bullying and harassment
Amnesty International were looking for an HR Consultancy team with significant experience in investigations, both in the UK and internationally, who could carry out each stage of the investigation process independently, and produce reports of their findings. Following a competitive tender process, Fitzgerald were selected as the best HR partner for Amnesty International.
With significant experience in leading workplace investigations internationally and in the UK, our team worked closely with the HR team at Amnesty International and built the foundations of a long-lasting working relationship.
During the team we have been working with Amnesty International, they have reached out to us to support with several cases, knowing we have the experience and expertise they needed.
“Fitzgerald came recommended by the NGO HR community. Following a tender process, we selected them to be our HR partner to lead on our workplace investigations.
We chose Fitzgerald because of their ability to carry out international investigations, as well as their UK experience with organisations that were similar to Amnesty International.
Fitzgerald’s relevant experience, and their professionalism, in combination with their pricing structure, makes them the right fit as our HR partner.
Fitzgerald most definitely deliver what we need. Their thoroughness in carrying out investigations is far superior to what we have experienced before. Their thoroughness and attention to detail is a specific benefit I like most about the way they carry out workplace investigations.
We highly recommend Fitzgerald. They are able to deliver neutrality to our workplace investigations which really helps. Moreover, they bring a best practice approach to all our investigations.
Whilst Fitzgerald mainly support us with our workplace investigations, they can also carry out mediation when needed and have undertaken a review of our employee relations policies and procedures. We wouldn’t hesitate to contact them for wider support in the future, if needed.”
