Elizabeth Rimmer, CEO of LawCare, says: ‘The legal workplace is characterised by inherent psychosocial risks—working long hours, poor work life balance, meeting the expectations of demanding clients, heavy caseloads, the pressure of deadlines and billing targets, while maintaining high standards of ethical and professional conduct.’
She suggests employers take a preventive approach, investing in management training, support for staff, healthy working hours, transparent processes for career progression and work allocation, and zero tolerance towards bullying and discrimination.
Tickets are available now for LawCare’s annual conference, online on 16 November, 9am-1pm, this year focusing on people risk management and the psychosocial risks in legal workplaces. Book your place here.
