Not HR. Not a Temp Agency. Not a Law Firm. So What Are We?
When people hear “workplace investigations,” they often assume one of three things:
“Oh, so you’re HR?”
“Do you place contract staff?”
“Are you a law firm?”
We get it. Workplace risk is a crowded space, and many roles overlap. But at Sonder Strategy Group, we don’t fit neatly into any of those categories.
We’re not HR.
We’re not a temp agency.
We’re not a law firm.
So what are we?
We are independent investigators and strategic risk consultants focused on the people problems that carry real business risk.
We Work Where Policy, Behavior, and Reputation Collide
At Sonder, we step in when an organization needs objective clarity around a sensitive personnel issue. That could be:
A harassment or discrimination complaint
Allegations of retaliation or toxic leadership
Concerns about ethical misconduct or organizational blind spots
Unlike internal HR, we’re neutral.
Unlike outside counsel, we’re fact-finders, not advocates.
Unlike staffing firms, we’re focused on risk, not roles.
We help organizations see what’s actually happening - without spin, without bias, and with a deep understanding of both policy and people.
Our Niche: The Human Side of Risk
We operate at the intersection of:
🧠 Strategy: Decisions must be defensible, intentional, and aligned with organizational values.
📜 Compliance: EEOC charges, internal complaints, and litigation risk demand documentation and due diligence.
🧍🏽♀️ Human Behavior: Workplace dynamics are rarely black and white. Risk often begins with misalignment, not malice.
We understand that what seems like “just another complaint” can have layers: culture, history, communication breakdowns, leadership inconsistencies, and more. That’s why our investigations don’t just answer what happened, they often surface why it happened and how to prevent it again.
Why It Matters
Most misconduct isn’t criminal. It’s subtle, persistent, and reputational. The damage is real and it doesn’t always show up in policies. It shows up in turnover, morale, brand credibility, and boardroom risk. We give leaders the tools and insight to act early, manage liability, and rebuild trust.
Sonder Is for Organizations Who:
Want clarity and discretion during high-risk internal complaints
Need objective findings they can stand behind for legal, operational, or ethical reasons
Understand that people-centered risk is business risk
Value integrity, not just compliance
So What Are We?
We’re the call you make when you’re not sure what’s happening, but you know it’s serious, and you want to get it right.
We’re Sonder Strategy Group.
