While it is hoped that we are through the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is emerging evidence that we are now facing a new threat of epidemic proportions in the form of mental health problems, many of which stem from the workplace.
Workplace stress is an ever evolving area of law. It covers a number of areas of legal practice and can be a minefield for the specialist practitioner and generalist lawyer alike.
After attending this webinar, delegates will have an understanding of:
- recent cases dealing with work-related stress
- the interaction between employment law and personal injury law in the field of workplace stress
- employers’ obligations in dealing with stressed employees
- how to get the most from an Occupational Health or GP referral
- how to lawfully discipline an employee suffering from stress
- the Sutherland v Hatton guidelines and the case law that has followed
- disability discrimination and the Equality Act in the context of workplace stress
- the longer term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on employers and employees
