Occupational stress in the workplace

Three specialist practitioners from our employment and casualty injury practices reprise the issue of “Occupational Stress.” focussing on:

• Why the ground has shifted for psychiatric wellbeing in the workplace;
• Proactive prevention;
• The art of the workplace health risk assessment;
• Psychiatric injury and the employment tribunal;
• Checks and balances (“Disability” defined);
• Strategy for those claims that make it through the net;
• Workplace stress compensation claims; evidential challenges for defending them and how to overcome those challenges (the practical tactics to deploy);
• An eye on the future and the Judicial “zeitgeist” (are we heading into a perfect storm?)
