Many organizations are feeling the effects of trauma without realizing it. Trauma-informed supervision involves understanding the prevalence of trauma and recognizing its potential impact on individuals' behaviors, emotions, and relationships. It emphasizes creating a workplace culture that is supportive, empathetic, and free from re-traumatization.
Here are some signs that your work environment might not be as safe or supportive as it should be:
High turnover and disengaged staff
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Poor communication and frequent misunderstandings
Fear of making mistakes
Withdrawal from team activities
Difficulty focusing or making decisions
Poor boundaries
Frequent absenteeism
Distrust among colleagues
Fear of feedback or performance reviews
If these sound familiar, it's time to take action.
Join our Trauma-Informed Supervisor's Course starting Nov 7 to learn how to create a work culture with psychological safety at the forefront where employees feel safe, supported, and engaged.
