About Helene

Helene Horn Figman has combined her strengths in employee relations,

human resources management, and specialized legal knowledge in the areas of sexual harassment, as well as other types of discrimination, with the range of skills and perspectives uniquely suited to presenting comprehensive and engaging workplace awareness education programs.

She routinely establishes, updates and maintains personnel policies that address discrimination, discipline, hiring, leaves of absence and workplace conduct. These policies set the stage for her design, organization and presentation of workplace training.

Her virtual presentations have been a great resource to employers during these times of remote work. She also addresses business groups and professional organizations.

She has additional credentials in both Mediation and Training, as well as certification in conducting internal investigations of harassment and other complaints.
