[Verse 1]
When complaints arrive at your desk today
Don't let them gather dust or fade away
Prompt response shows you truly care
Delay breeds liability everywhere
Thorough means you dig beneath the surface
Interview each witness, serve your purpose
[Chorus]
P-T-I-C-D, that's the way investigations should be
Prompt and Thorough, Impartial too
Confidential, Documented through and through
Fifteen steps from start to end
When workplace trust you must defend
[Verse 2]
Impartial eyes see clearest in the storm
No personal stake keeps findings pure and warm
For executives or systematic pain
External investigators break the chain
Confidential whispers, need-to-know basis
Never promise silence in all cases
[Chorus]
P-T-I-C-D, that's the way investigations should be
Prompt and Thorough, Impartial too
Confidential, Documented through and through
Fifteen steps from start to end
When workplace trust you must defend
[Bridge]
Document the complaint, assess the scope
Choose your investigator, plan with hope
Litigation hold, then interview the three
Complainant, respondent, witnesses free
Evidence collected, credibility weighed
Findings of fact, violations displayed
[Verse 3]
Recommend solutions, communicate outcomes
Monitor for payback when the dust comes
From complaint to closure, each step clear
Protect the process, keep procedures near
Investigation files tell the complete story
Evidence and notes preserve the glory
[Chorus]
P-T-I-C-D, that's the way investigations should be
Prompt and Thorough, Impartial too
Confidential, Documented through and through
Fifteen steps from start to end
When workplace trust you must defend
[Outro]
When workplace harmony needs mending
Proper process keeps you from bending
P-T-I-C-D
That's HR's investigation key
