Why is it that so many businesses, large and small, are failing to measure and manage the impact of the pandemic on their staff’s mental health? Research commissioned by OHID (Office of Health Improvement and Disparities) at the end of last year revealed that nearly half (49%) of adults in England said the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on their mental wellbeing.
Having moved to Samuel Phillips Law in September 2020 and spending my first few months with the firm in and out of lockdown and tiers and adapting to hybrid working, I was looking forward to 2021, to a fresh start in my new, wonderful firm.
There’s no question that 2020 was a difficult year for everyone; a year that gave many people (myself included) the perspective on what really mattered to them. It was clear to me by January 2021, after a hectic Christmas, and working throughout the various lockdowns, that I was just not enjoying my role in Property Law as much as I used to… something was missing.
It has been a strange couple of years. Many terms have become all too common in our vocabularies during this time including Covid-19 and furlough, whilst technology and hybrid working have been forced to the forefront of our day-to-day working lives.
I often get asked by fellow professionals, clients and those considering a career in law, “what has it been like qualifying as a solicitor during the Coronavirus pandemic and how have you adapted to this experience?” As 2021 draws to a close, I thought now would be a good time to reflect on the past year and share some of my experiences I have had as a Solicitor at Samuel Phillips Law.
