The Right to Disconnect and Psychosocial Health at Work
This presentation provides an update on the recently evolving industrial law landscape in the context of the Closing the Loopholes legislation, including as to the Right to Disconnect. The Right to Disconnect will be looked at through a WHS lense, including with reference to the express positive duty on behalf of employers to protect the psychosocial health of employees in connection with work. The presentation will assist employment lawyers in terms of navigating client rights and obligations. It is also useful from the perspective of lawyers as employers and employees with reference to the often unrelenting pressures and potential for vicarious trauma inherent in legal practice.
