Stress at work – serious issue or the new bad back?
For Integra’s next employment law seminars, we are teaming up with stress busting expert Julian Hall of Calm People. By combining his knowledge around the human side of stress with Wayne Smith’s legal expertise, we aim to provide you with double insights into this complex and interesting subject.

After this, Wayne Smith of Integra Legal and Julian will take you on a whistle-stop tour of all employers need to know about stress at work, its impact on the business and the individual, and strategies for managing the problem.
