This article critically engages with the concept and practice of ‘wellbeing’. Over the last decade, managerial practices have broadly introduced ‘wellbeing’ policies into the workplace, including the legal workplace. While these practices, in principle, can offer important forms of support for staff under professional stress, they can also be counterproductive, and have the effect of escalating stress and isolation. Drawing on Foucault, this article turns wellbeing on its head and identifies the dark side of what has become a widely practised form of control. It concludes by advocating for employee dialogue and genuine care rather than responsibilising employees for systemic failings.

不利于健康:资源,指标和对自我的关心的问题

本文批判性地涉及“福祉”的概念和实践。在过去的十年中,管理实践广泛地将“健康”政策引入了包括法律工作场所在内的工作场所。尽管这些做法原则上可以在专业压力下为员工提供重要形式的支持,但它们也可能适得其反,并会加剧压力和孤立感。本文以福柯为例,它使人们的生活变得轻松愉快,并确定了已成为广泛实践的控制形式的阴暗面。最后,提倡员工进行对话和提供真正的关怀,而不是让员工承担系统性的失败。
