Archived publication summary
In a BusinessDay article published on 18 February 2020, Olufisayo Fawehinmi examines the relationship between employee wellbeing and the long-term performance of law firms.
The article argues that wellness should form part of a firm’s working culture rather than consist only of occasional perks. It connects physical, mental and emotional health with professional effectiveness, leadership and sustainable legal practice.
It also questions a narrow focus on billable hours and considers personal self-awareness, supportive working conditions and the International Labour Organisation’s decent-work principles. The emphasis is on treating the wellbeing of lawyers as a continuing organisational responsibility.
