HR investigations are essential for small businesses in both Ireland and the UK to address workplace issues like misconduct, discrimination, harassment, or violations of company policies. Properly conducted investigations not only ensure fair treatment of employees but also help businesses mitigate legal risks, maintain morale, and uphold their core values. In Ireland, HR investigations are guided by employment legislation such as the Employment Equality Acts and the Workplace Relations Act. In the UK, they are governed by the Equality Act 2010, the Employment Rights Act 1996, and guidance from ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service).
