Workshop 3
Conducting Trauma Informed Workplace Investigations
Lesley Marlin, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
The world we live in contains trauma, which means that trauma survivors are present in every workplace. Research shows that trauma affects the brain, impacting perception and memory. In order to conduct effective workplace investigations, investigators need to recognize the signs of trauma and then understand how it affects those involved in a workplace investigation. This session will provide workplace investigators with tools and strategies so they can conduct trauma-informed investigations.
