The issue of health, particularly mental health, in the workplace is increasingly a headline-maker. To what degree should employers be held responsible for their employees’ health and wellbeing, other than fundamental health and safety at work issues and how have attitudes to employee health and wellbeing changed?

In this episode of The Essex Business Podcast we talk to Rob Whitaker, Executive Partner and Head of Employment at Tees Law about the legal responsibilities of employers; Anna Trudgian from Open Road gives an overview of what that organisation can do to support both businesses and their staff if someone is experiencing addiction-related problems; and Rickard Luckin Director, Kate Bell talks about the wellbeing initiatives that have been put in place within the firm.
