What causes people to suffer mental health conditions in their workplaces is not limited to their work and work environment. Recent evidence strongly suggests the erosion of traditional employment relationships and stressors at home are the major causes of mental health issues arising at work - and the modern employer is ill-equipped to deal with both.

Enter Workplace Law: eloquent, mindful, observant and with skilled intervention making people’s lives better. Law can be the Healer, the Educator and Mentor … or it can be a blunt instrument that damages everyone who participates.

On this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Andrew Douglas, an experienced legal practitioner, accomplished speaker and chair of masterclasses in workplace law. He has authored several books on health and safety law, and is a widely published legal practitioner on workplace wellbeing. Listen in as Andrew discusses the importance of workplace law and balancing the best interests of both employees and employers. When properly articulated and understood by employers, it offers clarity for both employees and employers when it comes to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
