Managing Trauma in the Workplace: Supporting Workers and Organisations

Managing Trauma in the Workplace looks at the impact of trauma not only from the perspective of the employees but also from that of their organisations. In addition to describing the negative outcomes from traumatic exposure it offers solutions which will not only build a more resilient workforce but also lead to individual and organisational growth and development.

This book has contributions from international experts working in a variety of professions including teaching, the military, social work and human resources. It is split into four parts which explore:

• the nature of organisational trauma
• traumatized organisation and business continuity
• organisational interventions
• building resilience and growth.

Managing Trauma in the Workplace is essential reading for anyone with responsibility to help and support workers involved in distressing and traumatic incidents as a victim, supporter or investigator.
