Independent workplace investigations you can trust.

Complex investigations

Often sensitive, the types of investigations we specialise in include disciplinaries, grievances, and bullying and harassment.

We are members of the ABI and certificated with the British Standard for Investigation Services BS:102000.

Organisational culture experts

We enable progressive and supportive cultures that bring out the best in people.

Culture Reviews

We are experts in assessing and understanding workplace cultures and implementing positive change.

Our Culture Reviews begin with an in-depth evaluation of the situation, usually by interviews, listening groups and surveys, which we use to advise areas of concern and appropriate remedial action.

Our approach is underpinned by the belief that compassion and inclusivity are vital to a positive organisational culture.

Craig de Sousa Director of Human Resources
I appointed ibex gale to manage a large redundancy project involving over 200 staff. They were both professional and compassionate with our staff, many of whom have worked for us for decades. We continue to work with the team at ibex gale and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Carly provided high quality, experienced HR support to the process. Her approach is analytical, nuanced and appropriately sensitive whilst being focused and thorough. I would definitely recommend her for a highly sensitive and complicated piece of work like this.

ibex gale's rates were very competitive and they demonstrated significant experience in conducting such investigations...Their work was so impressive that the Trust commissioned them for an additional extremely sensitive investigation...

NHS HR Director
At SCC we have used ibex gale a number of times for complex investigations. We found that their investigators are diligent, helpful, approachable and have a wealth of experience behind them. The process of using ibex gale is straight forward and has saved our organisation considerable expense in terms of time and resources to investigate complex cases.
