L&E Global Webinar Series: CONDUCTING EMPLOYEE MISCONDUCTS INVESTIGATIONS IN BRAZIL, FRANCE, MEXICO, THE UK, AND USA 

Thu, Oct 2, 2022 • 6:00 PM CET

In the past 3 years, 78% of global companies have conducted investigations for fraud, corruption, or related misconduct according to the latest “Kroll Global Fraud and Risk Report.” This percentage would have reached 100% if HR internal investigations had also been included, given that they generally represent over 50 % of whistleblowing reports. These investigations are becoming more complex to handle due to growing legal constraints from the increase in whistleblowing and data privacy legislation.

They are becoming increasingly publicized and often result in significant financial and reputation damage. Best practices for conducting investigations vary considerably based on the legal context and limitations in the country where an employee works.

Join our leading practitioners in Brazil, France, Mexico, the UK and USA for practical advice on:

• What and when to investigate
• Who should investigate
• How to collect evidence
• How to run effective interviews; and
• The technology that helps speed up the process and reduce costs

L&E Global Webinar Series: Digital Nomads

Tue, Oct 11, 2021 • 6:00 PM CET

One critical worldwide issue for employers is the search for talent. For many new hires, a global search is needed, that can expand beyond the home country, sometimes within countries the employer has had no legal presence.  

The need to retain home country employees with families in distant locations and a new desire and acceptance for travel are driving employers to consider permitting cross-border remote work. Searching for hiring and managing employees in locations where an employer has no operations, and no local HR expertise is raising novel and unplanned complications.

Complications include statutory employment rights, immigration requirements, tax regulations, health & safety, and insurances. In this panel discussion webinar, the speakers will discuss these issues and invite you to pose your questions on the digital nomads.

Speakers:
- Gabriela Lima (TozziniFreire, Brazil)

L&E Global Webinar Series: Employee co-determination in European jurisdictions: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Poland

Co-determination is the practice of workers of an enterprise having the right to vote for representatives on the board of directors in a company. It also refers to staff having binding rights in work councils on issues in their workplace.

In this webinar the speakers will provide insight in the co-determination differences and pitfalls in Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Poland.
