Skin-deep resilience: the hidden performance risk in law.
New WONE Index analysis reveals the paradox at the heart of legal performance: by traditional measures, the sector continues to perform. Yet across nine industries and more than 1,000 working adults, legal reports the highest workplace stress and burnout of any industry measured, alongside some of the lowest resilience capacity. This report gives legal leaders a data-backed view of the hidden gap between visible performance and the capacity required to sustain and improve it.
