Conducting workplace investigations into sexual harassment claims is challenging, and especially so across borders. Multinational organisations that implement robust, cross border investigation procedures can significantly lower their risk of facing disputes and legal actions.

In this webinar, Seyfarth partners will explore managing sexual harassment claims in the Asia Pacific region, where diverse legal landscapes and cultural norms further complicate cross border investigations. Topics include:

1. Regional nuances: Key similarities, differences, and risks in jurisdictions such as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the People’s Republic of China.
2. Employee protections and compliance obligations: The heightened risks of non-compliance and critical employee protections in APAC jurisdictions.
3. Best practices for multinational employers: Steps to ensure fair and legally compliant investigations.
4. Case studies: Real-world examples of effective cross-border investigation strategies in the Asia Pacific region.

This webinar is ideal for HR Directors, Employment Counsel, General Counsel, and professionals responsible for managing cross-border workforces, including in Asia or Australia.
