[Verse 1]
When a complaint comes through the door
Don't wait around, act right away
Prompt response is what we're fighting for
Delay sends the wrong message every day
Thorough means we interview them all
Every witness, every piece of proof
Document it before memories fall
Investigation needs the honest truth
[Chorus]
PTICD - that's our way
Prompt, Thorough, Impartial every day
Confidential, Documented all the way
Workplace investigations done the right way
PTICD - remember the code
Five principles to guide us down this road
When complaints arise, we bear the load
Professional investigations, that's our mode
[Verse 2]
Impartial means no personal stake
External help for serious cases
Executive misconduct's not a mistake
Systemic issues need unbiased faces
Confidential but never promise all
Legal duties might require we tell
Need to know basis, that's the protocol
Balance privacy and doing it well
[Chorus]
PTICD - that's our way
Prompt, Thorough, Impartial every day
Confidential, Documented all the way
Workplace investigations done the right way
PTICD - remember the code
Five principles to guide us down this road
When complaints arise, we bear the load
Professional investigations, that's our mode
[Bridge]
Fifteen steps from start to end
Receive, assess, then choose who'll lead
Plan it out, then interview and blend
Evidence and facts to meet our need
Credibility, findings, violations found
Recommend actions, communicate
Monitor for payback coming around
Complete the process, don't be late
[Verse 3]
Document everything along the way
Complaint and plan and interview notes
Evidence collected, what witnesses say
Credibility checks and all our quotes
Findings of fact and conclusions clear
Recommended actions for the case
Investigation files we'll keep here
Professional standards we embrace
[Final Chorus]
PTICD - that's our way
Prompt, Thorough, Impartial every day
Confidential, Documented all the way
Workplace investigations done the right way
From complaint to close, we know the code
Fifteen steps along this winding road
HR professionals, we bear the load
Justice and fairness, that's our mode
[Outro]
When workplace issues come to light
We investigate and make it right
