Trauma in the workplace is a major problem, with 1.5% of all workers suffering in any given year, according to a report by the Institute for Employment Studies https://www.employment-studies.co.uk/resource/workplace-trauma-and-its-management Nine out of 10 people will experience a traumatic event at some point in their lives, and a third will develop trauma-related illnesses, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The British Occupational Health Research Foundation (BOHRF) commissioned this research to investigate safe and effective trauma management practices within organisations. It includes evidence on the effectiveness of specific mechanisms for the provision of support for organisations whose employees experience serious incidents at work.

It is my belief and purpose with the ethos of The Executive Mind to facilitate identifying and addressing the many less dramatic stressors, within organisations and put in place prevention and action to treat trauma before the effects become catastrophic. By creating a workplace which does not traumatise its workers; employers can not only reduce the probable cost of trauma, they can also help access more of their employee’s hidden creative and productive potential.
CASE STUDY
Over a two-year period, 815 Royal Mail Group workers were identified as having been exposed to a potentially traumatic incident and then tracked for a 13 month period. The results indicate that the interventions developed by RMG are both safe and effective in relaying messages about trauma. It also shows that workers who perceive organisational support as high, had lower symptom levels and lower absence at 12 months following the trauma.

The advantages of the RMG approach is that it is relatively simple yet structured and can be implemented in many different work settings. An approach such as this can be the basis for an organisation to develop effective trauma management practice
In the immediate aftermath of a major workplace incident, for e.g. armed robbery, fire or fatal accident The Executive Mind will work with employees to provide them with the right information and support, to enable them to recognise when their reactions are no longer normal and healthy, suggesting to them that they may need further treatment.

Complete Quality Management
‘CQM’ requires workers to have both a high level of functioning and commitment. An ability to see the big picture, recognition of processes, and a commitment to customer satisfaction are a few of the necessary ingredients for successful ‘CQM’ execution. Because of the cognitive deficits brought about by trauma induced downshifting; the more conceptual, lofty ideas become unimportant and probably unfathomable.

Traumatized workers are focused on survival; not on long range plans or other people’s well-being. They are like the drowning person who is so desperate, they pull the rescuer underwater. The drowning person’s typical altruism or empathy isn’t available in their overwhelmed, terrified state. They are interested in, and can focus on, only one thing – survival.

Studies on uncontrollable stressors have shown that people in situations of uncontrollable stress demonstrate very shallow, simplistic thought processes (Pennebaker, 1990). Other studies have linked uncontrollable stressors to a subsequent decrease in cognitive abilities (Seligman, 1972).

NICE trauma guidelines
The latest guidelines from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommend that companies provide specialist trauma intervention rather than debriefing or non-directive counselling. And a growing number of trauma intervention specialists in the UK offer a range of techniques to help people recover. Some, such as TRiM (Trauma Risk Management) and SPoT (Support Post Trauma) have roots in the military, while others such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) originated in psychotherapy.

As well as identifying the symptoms of trauma, The Executive Mind will also ensure key personnel understand trauma, in its many appearances. This will allow quicker diagnosis and treatment saving your organisation costly climb of absenteeism rates, reduced work performance and all the other hidden costs to your bottom line caused by the stress of psychological trauma.

In a time of increasing litigation and increased health/stress and safety legislation The Executive Mind can facilitate your organisation become one of excellence, providing you rebuild a trauma/stress policy framework, so your organisation puts in appropriate action, efficiently and promptly to support the individual(s) concerned.
