By the time employment disputes reach the employment tribunal, the type of claims being heard do not always reflect the trends we are seeing in real time. This has particularly been the case during the past 18 months as the pandemic has impacted the way we work and how employers deal with, respond to and manage complex employment litigation and investigations.
In a recent publication by Corporate Disputes Magazine, Nicola Rabson, Judith Sutton and Laurie Ollivent discuss some of the key trends and developments in employment litigation and disputes, best practices for conducting investigations, and the key employment-related risks facing employers in the months ahead.

The last decade has seen an unrelenting focus on culture within financial services firms. Focus has now shifted to the role diversity and inclusion (D&I) play as an integral part of a healthy culture. As the regulators consider how to monitor and supervise firms in these areas, there is now a regulatory imperative for firms to manage and promote D&I effectively.

Workplace activism isn’t a new concept, but one which has been amplified in recent times by social movements and the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is increasingly becoming a defining feature of the workplace. With a heightened awareness of workplace rights, along with changes in technologies, social media and workplace communication channels, employees can become activists within their workplaces very quickly.

Having recently returned to work after maternity leave, I’ve found the phrase 'going back to work' to be misleading and I believe the same can be said when using the phrase for other types of long-term absence. It suggests the employee is going back to the same job (not always the case), in the same environment (often not the case - especially at the moment), and in the same personal circumstances as before (rarely the case).
Going 'back' is not the right way to look at it. Then again, it isn't starting afresh either. Returners want to re-enter the workplace with the same level of goodwill and respect they held when they left.
So why is it important how we see a return to work? And how can employers better support employees on their return after long periods of absence?
We have collaborated with Crafty Counsel to produce a series of six bite-sized videos, each aimed at exploring what culture is and why it matters through sharing what we have seen in legal practice.
