Welcome to The Talk Works Podcast, a space where we explore mental health, therapy, practical advice, and the tools needed to support wellbeing in the workplace.

In this episode, Dr. Jen Cottam is joined by Jamie Gamble, Partner at Ward Hadaway and an expert in employment law. Together, they discuss the rise in mental health-related issues in the workplace, common misunderstandings employers have about their responsibilities, and key insights from tribunal cases, including unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. Jamie highlights the importance of early intervention, reasonable adjustments, and well-trained managers.

He also shares his personal experience with mental health and how it inspired him to champion wellbeing initiatives at Ward Hadaway.
