Stress, burnout, vicarious trauma poor culture affect your entire organisation. And prevention is better than cure.
Many legal professionals are experiencing significant stress in their work lives. In organisations around Australia, we see symptoms of stress in leaders and teams. Maybe even in ourselves. Vicarious trauma, burnout and poor organisational culture come at a high personal cost: they can cause serious physical, cognitive and physiological symptoms.
They also impact teams, firms and the profession as a whole: decimating decision making, engagement, morale, performance and productivity, not to mention giving rise to ethical considerations.
But chronic stress does not have to be an inevitable outcome of a legal career. When these issues, and their root causes, are understood and mitigated, we can ensure people experience sustainable and fulfilling legal careers.
