Our Services
At JQ Investigations & Consulting, we help organizations resolve workplace concerns through clear, impartial investigations and practical labor and employee relations support. Our services are designed to reduce risk, build trust, and provide leadership with the clarity needed to make informed decisions.
Workplace Investigations
We provide fact-based investigations into allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and misconduct. Our approach includes careful witness interviews, evidence review, and credibility assessments, with findings documented in reports that are thorough and defensible. With experience in both corporate and academic workplaces, we adapt each investigation to the organization’s structure, policies, and collective bargaining environment.
Higher Education Investigations (Title VI,VII, IX)
We understand the unique demands of Title VI, VII, and IX in higher education investigations. Our work involves cases of sexual harassment, gender-based misconduct, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other sensitive matters affecting students, faculty, and staff. Each investigation is guided by institutional policy and federal and state requirements, with careful attention to fairness, due process, and clear communication. The goal is to ensure concerns are addressed thoroughly, respectfully, and in full compliance with federal and state regulations.
Employee & Labor Relations (ER/LR)
Employee relations issues often sit at the intersection of policy, law, and organizational culture. We provide guidance on performance management, discipline, accommodations, and workplace disputes, helping organizations apply policies fairly and consistently. With experience spanning corporate utilities and higher education, we understand the dynamics of both unionized and non-union environments. Our focus is on practical solutions that resolve conflict, reduce risk, and strengthen overall workplace culture.
Labor Relations & Collective Bargaining
Having worked closely with both management and labor representatives, we bring a balanced perspective to contract interpretation, grievance handling, mediation, and arbitration preparation. Our background includes experience in highly unionized environments as well as in right-to-work states, giving us the flexibility to adapt strategies to different legal frameworks and workplace cultures. This dual perspective allows us to help organizations navigate disputes constructively, maintain compliance with collective agreements, and foster stronger labor-management relationships.
Training & EEO Compliance Programs
Training is one of the most effective tools for prevention and culture change. We design sessions that are interactive and practical, drawing on real workplace scenarios to engage participants and encourage discussion. Programs can be tailored for managers, HR professionals, or broader employee groups, covering topics such as respectful communication, harassment prevention, reasonable accommodations, and equal employment opportunity compliance. The goal is to build awareness and give participants tools they can apply immediately in their roles.
Policy & Risk Advisory
Clear policies and consistent processes are the foundation of effective employee relations and compliance. We review workplace policies, reporting systems, and case management practices to identify barriers to equal opportunity or areas of legal risk. Our recommendations are practical and actionable, aimed at strengthening documentation, improving accountability, and aligning policies with both organizational values and regulatory requirements.
