The Second Annual Wellbeing for Lawyers Conference

Thursday 25 Jun 2020 9:30 am - 5:00 pm

Wellbeing is big and getting bigger. Which is not really surprising as it’s a "win-win" solution on so many different levels: in relation to employees work/life balance and stress management, through to attracting and retaining the best staff and improving productivity and profitability. Done with real commitment rather than as a half-hearted box-ticking lip-service exercise the potential is life and business changing In the words of our chairman, James Pereira QC: “For years now report after report has identified stress and poor wellbeing as major factors afflicting the health of the legal profession. Yet there is a wide body of research across employment sectors demonstrating the link between employee wellbeing and productivity, growth and enhanced professional performance. When lawyers suffer, their clients suffer too. That is not an acceptable proposition in service industry that prides itself on exceptional performance. We know the problems. It is time to focus on solutions. I am pleased to be chairing a conference aimed at just that.”
