I am in the mining industry
Yes we do have a HR manager part time and he is part of the overall problem as he owns a management company that no longer manages the company due to a new CEO
No l haven't been given a time when investigation will end . I do know who is doing it and that he has spoken to those involved but not me
I was verbally told to not say anything to anyone about this from CEO and the email l was sent states
"Please be advised that maintaining confidentiality is an important part of workplace investigations. Confidentiality benefits you by minimizing any negative reactions within the workplace and ensuring the facts can be determined quickly, clearly and without undue influence."
The workers l look after are confused as no one has told them anything either and so typically they are now talking to each other and speculating what may be happening
