# [Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Workplace Investigations](https://blog.compliancehr.com/compliancehr-updates/avoiding-common-pitfalls-of-workplace-investigations)

 Written by [ComplianceHR](https://blog.compliancehr.com/compliancehr-updates/author/compliancehr) | Apr 12, 2024 3:00:00 PM

Earlier this year, we shared our webinar “[Conducting Effective Workplace Investigations,](https://blog.compliancehr.com/compliancehr-updates/conducting-effective-workplace-investigations)” which walked you through the basics of conducting workplace investigations. Now we have taken a deeper dive into workplace investigations to help you understand how to avoid common pitfalls. In the webinar, “[Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Workplace Investigations](https://compliancehr.com/2024/04/18/pitfalls-of-workplace-investigations/),” Littler provides tips on handling:

- Anonymous employee complaints
- Witnesses that don’t want to cooperate
- Employee confidentiality
- Employee complaints in a union setting
- Retaliation and cross complaints

The webinar also includes a demo of PolicySmartTM, our solution designed to help you make your compliance strategy more proactive with employee handbook policy news, templates, and checklists.
