Davis Blank Furniss to stage employment law briefing on tackling stress in the workplace

Davis Blank Furniss – the Manchester based law firm – has announced details of its latest free Employment Law Breakfast briefing which will be discussing stress in the workplace. It will be taking place on Thursday 6th November at its Deansgate office.

With stress continuing to be one of the most common causes of both long term and short term sickness across all employee sectors, the event will provide practical advice to employers on dealing with staff suffering from the condition.

Employers who fail to address stress in the workplace leave themselves wide open to claims under: Health and Safety Legislation; Common Law Negligence; Bullying and Harassment Legislation; Disability Discrimination; and ultimately psychiatric damage

Davis Blank Furniss’ Employment Team will cover a range of useful guidance including: relevant legislation; latest case law; and practical steps

Shiva Shadi (pictured), head of the Employment Team at Davis Blank Furniss, commented; “Stress is a very real issue for many businesses so it’s imperative that employers know how to handle staff who are suffering from it. The aim of this seminar is to communicate clear and relevant advice which will inform, educate and help.”
