Independent HR Investigators for Harassment, Misconduct & Retaliation Claims

Discreet. Defensible. Done Right.

When You Get the Complaint... You Only Get One Shot to Handle It Right

An employee files a harassment complaint. Another claims retaliation. Someone reports workplace misconduct that could go public.

Now what?

If you try to investigate it internally—using a manager or HR rep—you’re setting yourself up for:
⚠️ Bias allegations
⚠️ Legal blowback
⚠️ Destroyed trust
⚠️ Botched documentation
⚠️ A case you’ll lose in court

That’s why Florida employers turn to Paradigm International—your neutral, experienced third-party workplace investigator trusted by hundreds of companies across the state.

Case Study: Manufacturing Plant Harassment Complaint

A mid-size manufacturer in Central Florida had a female employee report repeated verbal harassment by her supervisor. The in-house HR team feared bias accusations and called Paradigm.

We launched an independent investigation, interviewed 8 employees, reviewed camera footage and timecards, and documented 5 separate violations of company conduct policy.
The outcome?
✔️ Supervisor terminated
✔️ No lawsuit filed
✔️ Employee retained
✔️ Company policies updated
✔️ Reputation protected

What Happens If You Ignore It?

If you delay or conduct a sloppy internal investigation, you’re opening the door to:
❌ Lawsuits
❌ EEOC penalties
❌ Viral complaints on Glassdoor or social media
❌ A permanent trust collapse with your team
