Conducting Trauma-Informed Workplace Investigations – Presented by Lesley Marlin, Associate General Counsel, Labor and Employment, FINRA:

The world we live in can be a traumatic place, all but guaranteeing trauma survivors exist in every workplace. Surviving trauma deeply affects the brain, impacting perception and memory. Signs of trauma should be flags for workplace investigators and leaders. Investigators must understand how trauma affects employees and take informed steps to responsibly lead their investigations responsibly, and leaders must have a similar understanding for effective employee engagement. TED-style talk will provide listeners with the information, tools, and strategies needed to conduct trauma-informed workplace investigations and interactions.


India’s highly skilled workforce remains attractive to foreign players and organizations, but tapping into such a talent pool may require employee transfers and mobility benefits that come with their own set of legal and cultural challenges. This course will serve as a guide for global in-house counsel in the crucial aspects of employee transfers, mobility, and related exits in India. Learn the most effective strategies for attracting, retaining and parting ways with employees.
