An Awareness Series Specifically for Traders

Tuesdays With Bernie: Trader Edition - Series & Episodes

Welcome to the complete “Tuesdays With Bernie: Trader Edition” Employee Awareness Campaign kit.

The films that make up the series are the central component of the wider campaign of resources designed to educate your staff. Each film is customized with your company branding and a call to action. We also offer you the opportunity to modify the learning summary bullet points at the end of each episode to align with your company policies.

By using the resources in this kit, you will be able to capture your employees’ attention and deliver effective messaging to the company to inspire everyone to take responsibility for their workplace conduct. All without the assistance of bribes, intimidation, or the humiliation of pleading. Obviously. Because that would be wrong.

Check out our Seasons and sample the Episodes:

Episode 0: Teaser Trailer
In this six episode series, newbie Simon is sent to visit Bernie in prison, after the veteran trader is arrested.

Through their conversations, Simon discovers that Bernie’s behaviour in prison is disappointingly similar to his behaviour in the office, and that even on the inside, he still has trouble telling right from wrong.
