By Adam Turteltaub There are few parts of an investigation that are more stressful than the interview with the investigation's subject. Done right it can close all the loops. Done wrong, everything can unravel. To learn how to handle things best we turn in the second of our two podcasts on investigations to Wendy Evans, Senior Corporate Ethics Investigator, Lockheed Martin and Georgina Heasman, Senior Manager, Global Investigations at Booking Holdings. The two of them are the co-authors of our new book Fundamentals of Investigations: A Practical Guide and lead our Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop. In this podcast they offer a host of great insights including: While it's generally best to interview the subject last, there are times, such as in cases of alleged harassment or data theft, where you likely will need to sit down for a preliminary interview sooner Be sure to get a read on the subject and be respectful of the stress that they are under, including giving them psychological space before asking tough questions Clarify your role in the process as a collector of facts and that you have not already decided that they are guilty Invite them to share their perspective both in the interview and, if other things come to mind, afterwards Remind them of the confidentiality of the process and the need to focus on the allegation, not who made it Listen in to learn more, and be sure to investigate their book Fundamentals of Investigations: A Practical Guide and the Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop.
For the latest edition of our CCO Podcast, Paul Holmes sat down with Leslie Cafferty, chief communications officer at Booking Holdings, to discuss how she manages a portfolio of technology-driven travel brands, how she balances the needs of different stakeholders and reaches them through a variety of channels, the challenges of working with influencers, and how the company is incorporating AI into its communications efforts.
By Adam Turteltaub Few people know more about conducting a compliance investigation than Georgina Heasman, Senior Manager, Global Investigations at Booking Holdings and Wendy Evans, Senior Corporate Ethics Investigator, Lockheed Martin. The two of them are the co-authors of our new book Fundamentals of Investigations: A Practical Guide and lead our Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop. Not wanting to miss out on their expertise, we scheduled two podcasts with them. In this, the first of the two, they share a broad overview of best practices for conducting investigations. Those include ensuring that even compliance team members not responsible for investigations have at least a fundamental understanding of them. As for the investigation itself, they explain, to go well it begins with the first report. There has to be a clear line of communication and a culture that encourages employees to come forward. Once you receive that initial contact, it's important to remember that it tells the story only from one side. You need to ask questions to clarify what was seen and heard and start thinking about what other information you will also need to gather. To keep the information flowing, they recommend telling the reporter and everyone else you interview to reach out to you again if additional information comes to mind. While testimonial evidence is invaluable, don't stop there. As you gather the who, what, when and where, be sure to look for the documentary evidence that you need, which requires having strong relationships with departments that have it, such as HR and security. And, throughout the process, stay focused to avoid going down rabbit holes or getting inundated with more information than you need. Listen in to learn more, and be sure to check out Fundamentals of Investigations: A Practical Guide and the Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop.

Auch UPS und die Aktien von PayPal können von den soliden Zahlen stark profitieren, mit den Werten vorbörslich rund 12% und rund 16% im Plus.

CHROs today face a pressing mandate: how to build cultures of clarity and belonging while navigating hybrid work, rising employee expectations, and the disruptive pace of AI. The risk of drifting into transactional cultures is real, yet so is the opportunity to shape organizations where culture drives performance and technology enables growth. The question for CHROs is, how do you create alignment while preparing your workforce for what's next? In this episode, Paulo Pisano, EVP and CHRO at Booking Holdings—and the leader shaping the Future of Work for 24,000 employees—shares how culture and AI intersect to redefine leadership. He explains why culture is ultimately about how people get things done, why clarity is the cornerstone of inclusion, and what it means to bring your “whole professional self” to work. Paulo also addresses polarizing topics at work, the trade-offs of remote versus office culture, and how employee sentiment, trust in leadership, and decision effectiveness can be measured as cultural indicators. Finally, he offers a forward-looking view on how generative and agentic AI—through both HR applications and customer-facing tools—are accelerating productivity and experimentation, and what this means for reskilling and the future role of HR in shaping culture. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

The mission of the company Booking Holdings—which includes the brands Booking.com, Priceline, and OpenTable—is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Kate Heiny, Vice President of Sustainability at Booking Holdings, explains that in order to do that, we need a world worth experiencing. Melissa Fifield, Head of the BMO Climate Institute, sits down with Kate for a wide ranging conversation on the intersection of travel and sustainability and opportunities in the travel sector. “There's this beautiful alignment for us in terms of making sure that we continue to make travel available for billions of people, and journeys in the future, and that the world is a place that everyone wants to experience,” Kate said.
Booking Holdings is developing agentic AI to create a more personalized travel assistant capable of taking actions like booking flights, with CFO Ewout Steenbergen calling it key to delivering the long-promised “connected trip.” Marriott is expanding its Bonvoy loyalty program through partnerships with retailers such as Flipkart and Nectar, aiming to reward everyday shopping and draw new customers into its hotel portfolio. Meanwhile, a Skift Research report finds hotels still devote most tech budgets to legacy systems, but the biggest revenue gains will come from upgrading core infrastructure and applying AI to behind-the-scenes tasks like pricing and issue resolution.

Das Nachrichtenumfeld ist heute überwiegend positiv, vor allem im Tech-Sektor. Hier fallen die meisten Ergebnisse teils deutlich besser aus als erwartet. Neben Qorvo, geht es auch bei Vertiv, Teradyne und Etsy aufwärts. Heute Abend stehen die Zahlen von Meta und Microsoft im Fokus. Außerhalb des Tech-Sektors fallen die Reaktionen uneinheitlich aus. Während Starbucks von den Zahlen profitiert, sehen wir bei Booking Holdings, Visa und Mondelez eine leicht schwächere Tendenz. Was die Wirtschaft betrifft, melden die USA für das zweite Quartal ein reales Wachstum von robusten 3%. Die Wall Street hatte nur 2,5% angepeilt. Auch die FED-Tagung steht im Fokus, mit der Entscheidung um 20 Uhr MEZ. Die Wall Street geht davon aus, dass die Zinsen beibehalten werden. The Rhetorik dürfte jedoch in Richtung der Tauben tendieren. Ein Podcast - featured by Handelsblatt. +++Erhalte einen exklusiven 15% Rabatt auf Saily eSIM Datentarife!
