Predicted mass closures of small firms during the pandemic have not materialised. This is a testament to their resilience and adaptability.
However, with government funded furlough schemes and loan schemes coming to an end this Spring, it signals crunch time for many.
For many small firm owners, the last few months have been a challenging time – for some trying to keep their businesses afloat, having to carry out ‘difficult conversations’ with colleagues, staff and suppliers on downsizing; potential closures; redundancies; termination of contracts etc. For others, coping with large volumes of work, short deadlines, struggling with resourcing and work life balance.
Mental health and wellbeing advice, coping strategies and techniques are even more important.
Featuring an interactive discussion, based on small firm practitioners’ experiences with mental health, and guidance on how to manage issues arising yourself or in your teams from LawCare and top line results from the most recent Bellwether report from LexisNexis.
