Meet our teamOUR STORY
In 2010, Natalie and Glen Thomasen established Synergy Workplace Investigations from a spare bedroom on the Sunshine Coast. Their focus was practical: help organisations respond carefully to workplace bullying and misconduct.
Since 2010, that small business has grown into a trans-Tasman consultancy bringing together investigation, HR and mediation experience. We work with employers and organisational leaders who need an independent perspective on difficult workplace concerns.
Our growth has been shaped by the same priorities that guided the business from the beginning: integrity, quality, consistent standards and strong client relationships.

Careful investigation takes both rigorous enquiry and respect for the people involved.
We approach allegations with an open mind, identify potential conflicts and keep our findings grounded in the available evidence.
We explain the process, listen carefully and recognise that participation can be difficult for complainants, respondents and witnesses.
We define the brief, test competing accounts and provide clear reasons for findings, with communication about progress and scope.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Our team brings experience from policing, government, HR, health, education, disability and community services. This breadth helps us understand the settings in which workplace concerns arise.
You can explore individual backgrounds and areas of experience before discussing the needs of your matter.
OUR MISSION
We help organisations establish the facts, manage conflict and build their internal capability. Our work extends beyond a single investigation through mediation, training and practical resources.
