If employees feel happy and supported and can
bring their personal values to the workplace, Justine Aubin says,
they will be more productive. More importantly, however, being an
accommodating firm leader is the right thing to do in an evolving
professional landscape.
In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by August & Claire Lawyers principal Justine Aubin to
discuss why providing optimal support for one’s staff is of the
utmost importance and what she has learnt about this critical need,
how the pandemic age has influenced her approach to showing support
as a business leader, and how to put in place healthy and
supportive frameworks in one’s firm to better support the familial
and personal needs of one’s staff.
Ms Aubin details her own experiences of providing such support to
her staff (a number of whom have young families), the forces
driving her to facilitate such an accommodating workplace and
culture, fostering work-life integration, whether sees an increase
in such approaches across the profession, how the approach
influences the many hats that boutique law firm owners have to
wear, and what will constitute best practice for firm leaders as
working life continues to evolve across the professional services
marketplace.
