Wellbeing for Lawyers - Identifying Stress & Preventing Burnout

Introduction

Stress is an issue for lawyers, with ever more cases hitting the legal press, but what happens when stress is left unchecked and unmanaged? It can result in burnout, leaving individuals exhausted, cynical and unable to perform at anything close to their best. For firms it results in lowered billing and profitability, higher staff turnover rates and contributes to a toxic work environment.

This virtual classroom seminar is designed to help solicitors and HR professionals within law firms identify and manage stress and burnout risks within themselves and their firm.
