Costs of a Trauma-Insensitive Workplace


 In episode #o15 of the podcast, I share the 5 costs of being in a workplace that actively ignores trauma and its impact on behavior and response.

Trauma is how our bodies respond when it's been stressed beyond their tolerant limit.

And quite a few people are walking around at work, either experiencing events that traumatize them or experiencing events that trigger previous trauma.

Unfortunately, there are not enough managers or leaders are leading and communicating in a way that is sensitive to people's physiological and emotional scars.

And there are actual and factual costs to being a trauma insensitive workplace. 

What else is covered:

  • Trauma: defined and explained
  • Stress tolerant limit 
  • Trauma informed-leadership
  • Trauma triggers and responses 
  • What a trauma-insensitive workplace impedes 

So, with everything all coming down to trauma negatively costing your organization, your question would probably be: what’s the solution? 

Listen until the end of the podcast to find out.
