Biography

Founder & Managing Partner of Thrive Law

Jodie Hill is a neurodivergent solicitor, ED&I consultant, coach and trainer, author and campaigner. She is passionate about employment law, mental health and wellbeing, equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) and neurodiversity.

A qualified barrister initially called to the Bar by The Inner Temple in 2010, Jodie then cross-qualified to become a solicitor in 2013. Her mental breakdown in 2017, which Jodie now describes as her “mental breakthrough”, led her to establish Thrive Law in 2018. It was the first law firm in the UK founded with wellbeing and mental health at its heart.’

Psychosocial Risks in the Workplace

Psychosocial risks are factors that can negatively affect a person’s psychological health. Jodie will talk about the issues around psychosocial risks, and her political campaign for employers to properly evaluate and mitigate them. At present, employers have specific obligations to consider and mitigate physical risk in the workplace, but they don’t have the same requirements regarding considering and mitigating mental health risks.  Statistics show that people with ADHD are at higher risk of depression, anxiety, serious mental illness so we’re likely more at risk to the impact of negative workplace psychosocial factors. Jodie will describe the issues and discuss Thrive Law’s initiative and petition to change the law.
