The Case for Investment

Investment, not cost: why law firms need a wellbeing strategy

Your firm's greatest asset is its people. Many firms may be reluctant to spend when it comes to wellbeing, viewing it as an unnecessary cost or luxury that doesn’t drive profits. But evidence is starting to suggest that this attitude is counter-productive to business success.

We hosted an insightful panel discussion, People Matter: The Case for a Thriving Firm, featuring experts from DLA Piper, Feel Good, LawCare, Lockton, and Travelers Europe. Together, we explored how investing in your people can drive long-term business success.

We brought the Reasons to be Radical podcast to life, delving into key concepts that emerged from the series. We emphasised why prioritising mental health, professional development and company culture is a game-changer. Our panellists tackled pressing challenges—ranging from regulatory and people risk to firm leadership and insurance liability—and offered actionable solutions to help firms navigate both practical and conceptual barriers.

Take a deeper dive into the financial impact of poor wellbeing on business and people as we share practical guidance to help firms overcome resistance to change, and explore the World Health Organisation's three-pillar framework, promoting wellbeing at work.
