Legal professionals are eyeing up their next move, with 43% currently seeking a new role and a further 22% considering making a move, a survey by south London and Kent law firm Thackray Williams and legal recruiters LR Legal has found
When asked about their employers’ biggest failings during the pandemic, poor communication topped the list, cited by 42% of respondents, followed by lack of opportunities for promotion (40%), poor technology (35%) and not having proper mechanisms in place to manage mental health and wellbeing (34%).
More than one third (37%) said their employer was putting them under pressure to return to the office. However, more than half said the opposite.
Sean Sanders, managing partner of Thackray Williams, said: ‘In an era where law firm culture is just as important as pay, the results of this survey present a timely reminder for firms to keep communication and employee wellbeing at the top of their agenda.’
