I found the overall experience very helpful, from a learning but also a human perspective. I really enjoyed by interactions with everyone in the group and was impressed how a small group of people who do not know each other can so quickly relate to each other in a positive and constructive way. It gave me hope that a stronger society can be built to support mental health issues. From a learning perspective, I found the material very comprehensive and clear, with easy to remember diagrams and acronyms, which gives me confidence I will be able to apply what I learned going forward even if in a distant future. Thank you to our upbeat instructor, Tara, for her openness and her inclusive approach to each of our personal experiences.
Testimonials
I’ve referred a number of individuals to Thrive Law and their responsiveness has been phenomenal. No pushy response, just extremely helpful and obviously in it to get the best for their clients. As a HR Consultant, I also receive legislative updates which during lockdown I would have been lost without. Highly recommend.
I’ve been working with Jodie and her team for about 6 months now. It’s very easy to summarise when I am one of those who has historically found Lawyers…well….let’s just say ‘difficult’ to deal with’…here is not the place to rant! In stark contrast, Jodie and her team are an absolute delight to deal with – a breath of fresh air from the ‘typical’ thing we get from Lawyers. All the expertise but a big helping of real world, simple explanation and practical application.
Why can’t every Law Firm be like this? If you haven’t even had a conversation yet, you’re missing out. If you leave it ’til later, you’ll then wonder why you didn’t have the conversation sooner. Seriously!
Jodie and her team are extremely passionate about employment law. Their values and beliefs set them apart from many of the top leading firms. It doesn’t matter who you speak to at Thrive you know their values are aligned. The ethos are embedded within the culture of the firm and you can see each member of staff has been hand selected because they equally align with those values and beliefs. Thrives clients aren’t just another bill, they really care about each individual client. Jodie and her team are amongst the very best in their field, their knowledge, experience and pragmatic advice on all areas of employment is second to none! I have no reservations in recommending Jodie and Thrive Law.
Jodie and the team at Thrive Law are inspirational – we are thrilled to have found such an exceptional partner! Boxclever is a growing, fast paced agency full of senior people so we are hard to impress, but the Diversity and Inclusion workshops that Thrive delivered were game changing. Rich and relevant content, delivered conversationally and in line with our brand, and of course grounded in up to date legal case history ensured our team were challenged, excited and motivated. It’s made us think differently in a way that will live on in the organisation for a long time. Thank you Thrive!
My experience of both Jodie and Alicia has been exceptional. Dealing with employment matters can be delicate and my circumstances were such that I was incredibly bruised by my situation. Jodie and Alicia managed my employment issues for me and in doing so helped me tremendously. I have nothing but praise for the team.
Fantastically supportive service from Jodie and Team. Regularly recommend Thrive Law to clients experiencing issues around employment rights and mental health. Empathic, nurturing and insightful responses to those in need. Thank you.
Jodie and her team provide exceptional service and advice. Despite the fact that they are exceptionally busy at the moment due to the altruism of Thrive Law setting up a free corona virus helpline, when learning that I had an imminent deadline for which I required a complicated query answering they responded within a couple of hours after conducting the detailed research that was required.
I found Jodie to be extremely personable as well as knowledgable and professional. She doesn’t “sugar coat” things as so many people do in order to get clients with hopeless cases but rather is honest and straight forward. Something that I personally find extremely important.
I would absolutely recommend Jodie and the team at Thrive and I will certainly send any of my colleagues requiring a settlement agreement her way.
Fantastic advice received from this business. I was unfortunately placed on furlough from my employer during my garden leave period which meant I would potentially be out of pocket. The information I was finding online wasn’t helping very much however I came across Thrive Law offering free support with employment grievances due to Covid-19. I sent through an email to them outlining my concerns and within a few days I have received a detailed email with resources and guidance to help with my issue completely free of charge. Small acts of kindness like this are unheard of now days so it’s refreshing to see a company willing to go above and beyond for people in need. I have just started my own company so in turn, if I am in need of any paid legal assistance I will come back to Thrive Law for their support. I have also recommended them to a number of friends and family members.
Jodie [Hill] delivered an excellent session for us, really engaging and positive delivery.

I undertook a legal placement at Thrive during my 3rd year at Law School, I worked closely with the talented team and came to see how dedicated they are in their work and what they believe in. The Thrive team are a very special firm in that they are so much more than an employment law firm. They work everyday to ensure employees have a more inclusive and diverse workplace to allow them to thrive, through free blogs and free helplines. If you are a law student and are looking to undertake some legal experience, I couldn’t recommend Thrive more. You will learn key legal skills you can take into your legal career and you will learn cross skills like writing blogs, networking skills and marketing skills. It was refreshing to be involved in all aspects of running a law firm. Thrive gives you the chance to speak up, to share your ideas and allow you to be yourself. Which is what every workplace should be like.

Jodie Hill and her Thrive Law team are outstanding employment lawyers with true ethical values. Their desire to fight for fairness in the workplace shines through in their approach to their clients and cases they take on. Thrive also provides excellent HR support to companies that support and protect both employees and employers. They have such a passion around improving mental health in the workplace and are campaigning to change the law. A very different approach to HR and employment law.
Thrive Law has advised our business on employment law considerations on a number of occasions. They are prompt to act and state the law clearly but moreover act as a trusted advisor in time when you really need to lean on these experts. They have taken the leap to using tech to give a great client experience too. Jodie is a tenacious thought-leader in the employment and wellbeing space. Plus she is a champion of women in business. Well worth having our your team!
The whole team at Thrive Law were superb from start-to-finish, ensured all our needs and requirements were addressed promptly and efficiently. Thrive drafted our employment contracts, employee handbook and assisted with other queries I had about employment matters. Thrive’s positive and welcoming culture is infectious and I’m proud to be working with them. Jodie’s pioneering approach to tackling mental health in the workplace and breaking down barriers for people of all backgrounds is inspirational. Thrive have a bright future.

Jodie is the kind of person who everyone should have leading them through any legal procedures. Her advice & calm demeanour are extremely reassuring. Don’t let this mislead you…..the iron fist in the velvet glove springs to mind! She is so well informed and genuinely cares about her clients. I’d certainly recommend you speak with her for any legal advice that you may require. Oh, her team are pretty awesome too including Baxter the dog! I am thrilled with the service I received from Thrive Law, a legal firm who do really care about people.
Jodie [Hill] delivered an excellent session for us, really engaging and positive delivery.
During our contract Thrive has provided invaluable support for Mulberry Risk as we have experienced rapid growth from a start up company. We have been continually impressed by everyone we’ve worked with from the Thrive team. Thrive’s response times, deep knowledge, dedication and general work ethic has been a trusted resource that we have relied upon. Huge thanks to everyone for the support you’ve provided.”

Jodie and the team at Thrive Law have been fantastic in helping The Secret Event Service to grow.

The team are brilliant, kind and conscientious, always endeavouring to go above and beyond to ensure the standards of their work are high. We will continue to work with Thrive and look forward to growing our business with and through their support.

The mental health first aider training with MHFA England gave us a far deeper understanding of mental health and its different forms. It also provided us with a simple structure in which to implement genuine support in the field, and also proactively encouraged us to empathise with anyone who we come into contact with. Mental Health training should be understood and prioritised by every business, as it’s the lack of understanding that hides it behind closed doors, or it only rears its head when it’s been allowed to manifest, prolonging the time needed off work.
Thrive have been our preferred outsourced HR team for 18 months. They have always been available to offer their expertise no matter what. Their professionalism is second to none, and thoroughly support end to end with any issues we have had. The team have deeper experience in many areas, and if they don’t know they will find someone who can help. I am very impressed with their service and look forward to our long relationship.

Absolutely amazing course. Not only have I developed a massive understanding around mental health and supporting those in a number of situations, I know how to further look after myself and somehow feel mentally refreshed leaving the course. The idea of imparting my stresses and personal issues with strangers doesn’t sound appealing but it felt amazing. People made me feel so listened to and I felt special for the experiences I’ve had, not burdened. Tara was incredible, so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. All of my course mates were so vital to my learning too, we all had such unique experiences, everyone was so lovely. The knowledge I have is to important and I am proud to know I could deal with a situation should it arise to the best of my ability. Thank you all, this is invaluable learning.
I met Jodie Hill at the Women Lawyers and Mothers Mental Health Conference, at which she really impressed me with her attitude towards mental health as someone who runs their own firm. I subsequently invited her to speak at Dorsey & Whitney (at which I am an associate) and she was very professional and engaging. Since then she has kept in touch, sending me information I have found very helpful and useful and hope to implement at our firm.
I enjoyed the course it gave a good insight in supporting employees within my workplace and has given me the confidence to be able to support mental ill health situations when they arise. I especially liked the case studies and the participation. Looking forward to the next course. Thank you.
Amazing course that I have found hugely beneficial. I will ensure that more IMMJ Systems resources are booked on to a future course.
Jodie is a highly engaging and empathetic lawyer who makes an often difficult and emotional topic for many very clear. Her recent webinar with Furlearn (13-Nov-20) was more than just educational: Jodie’s demonstration of her ability to answer individual issues quickly and clearly was illuminating and her care for her clients’ welfare was obvious to see.
