Every HR professional knows the feeling: a complaint comes in, and you sense that whatever you do next could be read back to you under oath. This week, Pete Wright sits down with AIM HR Solutions' Sarah Piscatelli and Tom Jones to talk through how to run a workplace investigation that actually holds up — starting with the question employers ask most, "Do I even have to investigate?"

From anonymous complaints and he-said-she-said standoffs to the difference between a real policy violation and ordinary workplace drama, the conversation gets practical fast. Along the way: who should hold the pen, when to call in an outside investigator, why you can't promise the confidentiality everyone wants, and the retaliation trap that snares companies even after they've won. Plus, what invisible recording devices and AI note-takers mean for HR in a two-party-consent state.
