In this episode of All Things Investigations, host Tom Fox talks with Benjamin Britz, partner at Hughes Hubbard, about the recent Delaware Court of Chancery decision regarding the NRA McDonald's case. Ben explains the court system in Delaware and the background facts of the case involving sexual misconduct and harassment allegations against McDonald's CEO and his Chief People Officer, David Fairhurst. The court's decision focuses on whether Fairhurst had an oversight duty as an officer, and Ben and Tom discuss the legal rationale for the duty of oversight and the duty of information and compliance information systems.  Benjamin Britz is a partner at the law firm Hughes Hubbard and has extensive experience in internal investigations, securities litigation, and white-collar defense. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 2004 and went on to clerk for Judge Jim Carr in the Northern District of Ohio before joining Hughes Hubbard. He has remained with the firm ever since.  You'll hear Tom and Ben discuss: The Delaware Court of Chancery is a specialized forum for disputes regarding the operations and governance of Delaware corporations, and it has very knowledgeable judges who are confirmed by the Delaware State Senate. The duty of oversight applies to corporate officers and is based on the same fiduciary duties as directors. The duty of oversight includes the duty of information and compliance information systems, as well as the duty of red flag, where officers need to take action if they become aware of misconduct. The court's decision in this case was based on the duty of red flag and a finding of bad faith due to inaction on the part of Fairhurst, who ignored red flags and was allegedly engaged in misconduct himself. The court's opinion was comprehensive, possibly to ensure a basis for upholding the decision on appeal, and the duty of oversight applies to the chief compliance officer as well. The court's decision in the case discussed does not extend beyond corporate officers. The decision does, however, elevate the role of the chief compliance officer to the level of the CEO or CFO in terms of the breadth of their duties. This decision serves as a reminder that courts take the position of the compliance officer very seriously, regardless of their formal designation within the company. While the case may not be appealed, it is important because it sketches out areas where basic tenets of corporate governance law are still undeveloped. The court's breach of loyalty claim against Fairhurst for committing sexual harassment could open up a can of worms and expand the traditional duty of loyalty into areas where it hasn't been before. The duty of loyalty claim for engaging in affairs that are against the code of conduct or other policies and procedures could be a backdoor violation of honest services. KEY QUOTES "What's called a red flag duty, if you become aware of misconduct that you have to do something about it." - Ben Britz "If you are the CCO your duties are very broad, because this whole thing is basically your job. Because of that, it does very much put the compliance officer on the level with the CEO or the CFO..." - Ben Britz "The expectations from the board certainly are going to be that whoever holds that position is executing it to the absolute fullest." - Ben Britz Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Ben Britz on LinkedIn

This week, the conversation is with Debbie Barnes, the Chief Executive of Lincolnshire County Council. This episode is a bit different in that it is my Mutual Ventures colleague, David Fairhurst, asking the questions in the main interview segment - and I think he does a great job! To be fair, he has an amazing guest. Debbie was formerly the Director of Children's Services (DCS) in Lincolnshire before becoming Chief Executive. She talks about the children's services improvement journey the council have been on and the very specific challenge of maintaining an “Outstanding” service. Lincolnshire plays an important role in supporting other councils to improve their children's services and Debbie describes how that “symbiotic” relationship works. It might surprise you to hear that progressing from DCS to Chief Executive is not a typical move and Debbie describes brilliantly what that was like for her and the challenges she faced. Finally, Debbie also talks about the relationship between the council and health partners and how that has come to the fore during the pandemic.

David Fairhurst is the Chief People Officer at McDonald’s. Prior to joining McDonald's in 2005, Fairhurst held senior roles at H J Heinz, SmithKline Beecham and Tesco. For four consecutive years (2008-2011) he was voted the UK's 'Most Influential HR Practitioner' by readers of HR Magazine and in 2012 was awarded the magazine’s first ever Lifetime Achievement Award for an HR practitioner. McDonald's is the world's leading global food service retailer who, including franchisees, employs more than 1.9 million people, in 35,000 locations serving approximately 60 million customers in more than 100 countries each day. More than 80% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local business men and women. McDonald’s is known for its operational excellence. They see this as a ‘3-legged stool’ made up by the suppliers, the franchisees and the company. McDonald’s is often a first job of many workers. Their focus on training has provided an amazing legacy of alumni employees to the restaurant. Fairhurst talks about the ‘workforce cliff’. This is the point where the workforce supply and demand converges – the number of babies born versus deaths.   In the US it will occur in 2020. With that in mind, the idea of a multigenerational employee group is even more interesting and practical. He explains that research has shown that in restaurants where there are a large age range of workers, there is a positive culture. What do companies need from their employees? This may vary across sectors but it is a good question to ask. McDonald’s has determined three things that they need from their employees, calling these the ‘3 C’s’. Competence Confidence Commitment McDonald’s also has looked at what employees value in their workplace. They found it to be what they call the ‘3 F’s’. Family – work/life balance Flexibility – if family emergencies come up, can the company handle it? Future – ways can you make me more employable or valuable The real power in knowing these things is when you can get these to merge. Fusing the needs of the company with the needs of the employees can produce great results. McDonald’s drives change across its global company by looking at 4 things. First is transforming the culture of their system – the customer is the center and then, by definition, also the employee Secondly, strengthening the talent management process. They want a robust talent pipeline Thirdly, making sure they have the right leaders with the right capabilities in the right structures to ensure they can meet current and future trend. And lastly, they are constantly seeking to strengthen their access to people. These are continuous and do not stop in their goal to lead and not follow. The opportunities are endless but when you take a little insight, it can create a massive impact - when you have 1.9 million employees. Fairhurst’s advice for others is to, “Stop worrying about what you do not have control over. Get sleep and pour over what you can do. The differences you make today will get you noticed.” What you will learn in this episode: How David Fairhurst got to this point in his career What is McDonald’s Velocity Growth plan Why it is important for McDonald’s to make a transformation Challenges McDonald’s has had to overcome The impact of AI and automation on their restaurants Fairhursts advice to leaders, managers and employees The role of a multigenerational workforce What is the ‘workforce cliff’?
