When a Workplace Lacks Psychological Safety

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.
