Trauma Link: Our Trauma Response Program
Our Trauma Assistance Services are a targeted, professional response to the growing awareness of the impact that workplace trauma and employee victimization can have on employees and the organization. Common events to which we respond include, but are not limited to:
- accidental death
- environmental disasters
- hostage taking
- robberies
- murder
- violence or attempted violence
- suicide
- terminal illness of a colleague
Why is professional trauma assistance important?
If not managed properly, traumatic situations can have life-altering consequences for your employees and can lead to the development of incapacitating symptoms that result in:
- increased absenteeism
- increased claims under insured benefit programs including weekly indemnity, long-term disability, and pharmaceuticals
- increased job site accidents
- reduced productivity, and
- low morale
The benefit of best-in-practice trauma assistance response is that it allows employees to address and resolve any negative effects the event may have triggered. This way you, the organization, and your employees are able to move forward.
