In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back barrister and mediator Max Kimber SC to discuss allegations of bullying in legal and non-legal workplaces, how such alleged misconduct may stem from relationship and communication failures on the part of the workplace, and why prevention and early intervention are so essential.

Kimber also responds to whether there is an increase in allegations of bullying or related misconduct in recent years since the COVID-19 pandemic, what constitutes best practice in addressing relationship and communication failures, recognising the positive duties that businesses and team leaders have moving forward, shoring up the fundamentals of workplace culture, finding new ways to speak to one’s employer about necessary team cultural and environmental changes, the role of HR, and his optimism that the profession can move forward in the right ways.
