About this episode

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore the ways that businesses and legal professionals can better manage the myriad psychosocial hazards that arise in the workplace, particularly in an increasingly litigious climate.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services business development manager Christopher A. Yong and Unisearch expert and work, health, and safety specialist Sarah Jezzini to discuss the impact of psychosocial hazards on all areas of a business and the clients they serve, increased levels of understanding and appreciation for how and why psychosocial hazards exist, and the need for an urgent shift to proactive management of such workplace matters.

The trio also discuss the legislative and regulatory considerations at play, the state of affairs for litigious proceedings, high-risk areas for litigation, intersectionality’s role in the broader conversation, key questions that business leaders must be asking of themselves, practical frameworks to be implemented or adapted, and not letting the metric become the measure.
