Neutral Evaluations: A safe, confidential approach to workplace concerns

Our Neutral Evaluation service provides a secure and confidential way to address internal concerns through a thorough, impartial fact-finding process. We prioritise trust and psychological safety, ensuring all parties feel heard while maintaining strict confidentiality.

The outcome is a detailed, unbiased report highlighting key findings and potential remedies, empowering you to make informed, fair decisions. We don’t just identify issues – we guide you with actionable next steps, from policy reviews to coaching and leadership training, fostering a healthier, more engaged workforce.

Neutral Evaluations get to the root cause across a number of concerns:

  • Multiple or counter grievances.
  • Collective disputes or team conflict.
  • Allegations of bullying, harassment, or discrimination across departments.
  • Rising Speak Up concerns or unrest within teams.

Our audits provide deep insights into your systems, team climate, and employee experiences, ensuring a people-first approach to workplace challenges.

Our innovative Neutral Evaluation methodology

Our unique approach is designed to assess your organisation’s team climate, identifying the root causes of conflict and providing clear solutions for improvement. The audit and review process typically consists of five key phases, ensuring a data-driven, people-first approach to improving your organisation’s team climate.

1. Audit scoping, design and approval

This initial phase is focused on planning for the evaluation. We will work with your key stakeholders to agree the scope and terms of reference for the audit and to plan our surveys and interview questions.

2. Confidential survey

To gather input from as many individuals as possible, we invite all relevant parties to partake in a confidential survey, with content typically reflecting the same content as the latter interview stages.

3. Interview

To gain a more thorough insight from the individuals more closely involved with the reported issue(s), we also conduct 1-1 interviews and/or focus groups. Participants can volunteer to take part and will be supported through the process in a psychologically safe environment.

4. Data analysis

Once all of the available evidence has been obtained, we will collate, review and analyse the information. As part of this we will conduct a root cause (SWOT) analysis to support the development of recommended actions.

5. Final report

Following the evaluation and data analysis stage, we deliver a comprehensive report with actionable insights, offering tailored recommendations to enhance team performance, engagement, and workplace harmony. We may also offer insights on next steps to align departmental and organisational culture, depending on the scope of our work.

Proactive solutions tailored for you:

Conflict audits: gaining insight into workplace disputes audits

Looking to understand the causes and costs of conflict in the workplace? Our conflict audits gather data from teams, departments or across your entire organisation, providing valuable insights into workplace disputes.

This data can help you:

  • Develop new conflict management strategies, such as mediation
  • Identify strengths and weaknesses in current approaches
  •  Allocate resources more effectively
  • Benchmark progress and assess the impact of future interventions

ED&I audits for a fair, inclusive workplace

With increasing concerns about inequitable treatment, including issues tied to equity, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I), as well as bullying, harassment, and discrimination (BIAHD), it’s essential to assess your organisation’s practices. These challenges can damage organisational culture and reputation.

Our ED&I audits provide an objective review of your current practices, identifying areas of strength and improvement. We deliver detailed feedback on what’s working and what isn’t, along with practical strategies to create a more inclusive, respectful, and fair workplace.
