HR Investigations Tracker

HR Investigations Tracker

🔍 Why it helps

I was a Compliance Manager myself and I know the headache: When employee complaints, misconduct reports or safety issues come up, it's easy for things to get messy: unclear status, missing evidence, delayed actions, no dashboards, no visibility. This is a risk you don't want to take because I've seen the cost show up fast: in time, trust, and turnover.
With this tracker, you get a framework that keeps everything logged, transparent and on-track. All in one place. (yes, even the anonymous complaint form is included)

📋 Key Features

  • Complaints database: Log each case with details (reporter, parties involved, severity, date reported, evidence, investigator).
  • Corrective actions database: Link actions to complaints, assign a responsible person, set due-dates, track status and completion.
  • Dashboard views: See high-severity items, overdue actions, cases open more than X days at a glance.
  • Quick start guide: Step-by-step instructions for logging a new complaint, tracking progress, assigning actions and closing the case.
  • Archive & metrics: Once closed, cases move to the archive; you can also monitor trends (e.g., case types, resolution times) to identify systemic issues.

👥 Who it's for

  • HR teams in small to medium businesses who need a simple but professional way to manage investigations.
  • Compliance Teams, Consultants and HR service providers offering investigation support and wanting to standardize their process.
  • Offices with mixed remote/in-office settings where visibility and consistency of HR investigations matter.
