Managing Well-Being In the Legal Industry

By Vivian Hood
September 01, 2022

A recent Legal Marketing Association (LMA) Well-Being Wednesday program about "The Importance of Implementing a Well-Being Program at your Firm — the how, what and who to make it happen!" provided a range of big ideas and small tips for legal marketers and law firms. The panel included moderator Cynthia Voth, Chief Client Officer at Miller Nash; Nita Cumello, Global Client Director and Director of Well-Being for the Global Large Law Firm segment of Thomson Reuters – Legal Professionals; Erin Meszaros, Chief Client Officer at Eversheds Sutherland; and Jeff Johnson, HR Operations Manager at Sheppard Mullin.

"I think it's really imperative for all of us to take care of ourselves, to normalize conversations around well-being, and to support ourselves and our teams by creating a culture of well-being as the norm," said Voth, who helped found the Well-Being Committee during her tenure as LMA president in 2019. "We know that when firms or organizations focus on well-being, it leads to better job satisfaction, performance, creativity, retention and ability to recruit talent."

LMA's Well-Being Committee hosts regular Well-Being Wednesdays to bring thought leadership to the topic of establishing and growing a well-being initiative and culture in the legal workplace.
