At Kennedys, wellbeing is a top priority, and this October, we're dedicating the month to wellbeing initiatives. In honour of World Mental Health Day (WMHD), we've joined the 'This is Me' campaign, using personal stories to create a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. In our London office, the wellbeing ambassadors teamed up with Claire Mulligan to host this month’s staff social, promoting WMHD. The evening kicked off with a welcome speech from CIO Paul Brotzel, followed by a quiz where the 'Magnificent Seven' team took home the win! Meanwhile, volunteers in the Manchester office organised a wellbeing breakfast, encouraging colleagues to get to know one another. The goal was to foster connections, so that if anyone ever needs support, they'll know who to turn to. #WellbeingAtWork #WorldMentalHealthDay #ThisIsMe #EmployeeWellbeing

Microplastics are small plastic particles less than 5mm in diameter commonly added to products such as paint, detergent, toys, medical devices, medicines and cosmetics. They are currently under the regulatory spotlight in the EU and UK owing to the risks they pose to the environment and human health, against a backdrop of putative class actions in the US. Writing in Insurance Day, partner Nathalie Smyth, legal director Emilie Civatte, LL.M. and litigation assistant Lydia McLatchie outline how insurers should prepare for potential exposure to microplastics litigation in the EU and UK in the coming years.

In recognition of Cyber Awareness Month, Ollie Dent, EMEA Head of Cyber and Data at Kennedys, emphasises that the CrowdStrike incident serves as a wake-up call for the industry. As our reliance on connected infrastructure grows, both insurers and policyholders will likely need to reassess their policies and coverage considerations. https://lnkd.in/eUNxEcyt #CyberAwarenessMonth #CyberSecurity #CrowdStrike
Laura Miller examines how the CrowdStrike outage impacted various insurances, including property, business interruption, professional liability, D&O and product liability insurances. https://hubs.li/Q02SJQsT0
