Episode 1, Corporate Crime and Investigations: Triggers for investigations

The commercial world is always changing and the legal landscape never stands still. Keeping pace with all those changes, and knowing how they affect your organisation, is a big responsibility and a challenging task. Ashurst Legal Outlook will keep you at the forefront of the most pressing legal issues, offering insights from legal experts across our international network.

The 2022 World Health Organization's World Mental Health Report states that about one in eight people in the world live with a mental disorder, and globally an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety at a cost of $1 trillion per year in lost productivity. These statistics present an overwhelming business case for minimising mental health situations arising in the workplace because of their substantial impact on business operations. Crowley Woodford, Head of Ashurst's European Employment practice is joined by Scarlet Reid, an Employment partner in Australia who specialises in Health and safety, and Eleanor Reeves, a partner who leads the Ashurst's Health and Safety practice in London. Key takeaways for employers include taking practical steps to mitigate employment and work health and safety claims. Managers should be trained to recognise and address mental health issues and not ignore warning signs. Regular and comprehensive risk assessments should focus on psychological risks, and measures should be taken to mitigate those risks. Engaging with the workforce on work-related stress and listening to their concerns can lead to an action plan to address these issues. Companies can also normalise conversations about mental health and use the ISO 45003 framework to integrate good management practices that can increase resilience, retention, productivity, and reduce sickness absence and claims.

Episode 3, World@Work Managing psychological health and psychosocial risks in the workplace

In this episode of our World@Work mini-series, we compare recent legal reforms in Spain, the UK and Australia – all aimed at tackling the issue of workplace sexual harassment. Cristina Grande explains the Spanish crackdown, by  criminalising certain workplace harassment and discrimination. As legal entities, employers can be held liable if certain incidents occur within the organisation in Spain. Cristina explains the real and potential consequences of this, as well as the harassment prevention measures that proactive employers are now taking. Raquel Mendieta also outlines how new Spanish laws could impact employers and employees. Liz Parkin and Tamara Lutvey reflect on the similarities between the approaches in the UK and Australia, where workplace sexual harassment is not criminalised. Liz explains the shifting legislative  landscape in the UK, where the focus has been on workplace health and safety. Meanwhile, Tamara highlights Australia’s focus on giving victims of workplace sexual harassment as much choice as possible in how they wish to report, address and/or prosecute the issue.Regardless of how legislators respond to workplace sexual harassment, one conclusion is inescapable: all employers globally need to maintain a positive workplace culture that promotes gender equality. This, in turn, reduces the risk of sexual harassment, and other harassment, discrimination and bullying.
