Creating a Supportive and Productive Workplace in the Face of Trauma
1.0 elimination of bias credit applied for
All employees face personal situations from time to time that can impact their productivity and efficiency at work. In 2020, it is not surprising to have employees around us who have experienced trauma. Whether dealing with racism, losing a loved one to an illness, navigating grave financial uncertainty, or handling an extreme amount of responsibilities, employees are being stretched in unprecedented directions. Creating a supportive workplace culture can be the difference between an employee thriving and continuing to contribute versus an employee struggling and being challenged in an environment of shame and misunderstanding. This session will explore what we can be doing to create a workplace culture that gives all our employees the best chance for success despite navigating difficult personal situations.
