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?\"\nFrom 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.\nLinks & Notes\nAIM HR Solutions\nhttps://aimhrsolutions.com\nHRInfo@AIMHRSolutions.com | 617-488-8321\nAIM HR Helpline (for AIM members)\nhttps://aimnet.org/hr-helpline/\n800-470-6277 | helpline@aimnet.org\nMonday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ETEEOC — Questions and Answers: Enforcement Guidance on Retaliation and Related IssuesMassachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD)Massachusetts Wiretap Statute — M.G.L. c. 272, § 99 (two-party consent / interception of wire and oral communications)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/X5rWk8hmNiqOqWqFEWn5FvHTyP5q_-h1OnBcklccaBQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyOTM0LzE2NTk1/NjY0MTQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
