🔍 Monday Morning Inside Investigations
Social Media & the Workplace
The line between personal and professional life has never been blurrier. What an employee posts outside of work—whether it’s a heated comment, offensive meme, or criticism of their employer—can quickly become a workplace issue.
We regularly see investigations triggered by:
⚠️ Disrespectful comments about colleagues or management
⚠️ Posts that breach company policy or codes of conduct
⚠️ Online behaviour that damages workplace culture or reputation
Employers need to tread carefully. Not every online comment warrants formal action, but when conduct crosses into bullying, harassment, or reputational harm, an investigation may be required.
The key is consistency. A fair and transparent process ensures that staff understand expectations, while employers minimise the risk of overreach or unfair dismissal claims.
At Regional Queensland Investigations, we bring independence and professionalism to workplace matters—including the tricky space where “off-duty” behaviour affects the workplace.
Because in today’s digital world, what happens online rarely stays online.
