Crisis Response
Immediate response after unexpected grief or trauma
When a sudden or unexpected crisis, death, or trauma occurs in the workplace, your team must immediately respond to the urgent circumstances at hand. Effective leadership is prepared to communicate, guide, and meet the emotional and logistical needs of your employees and business community. We can help.
Our crisis response services provide your leaders immediate and confidential guidance during an unexpected tragedy. We seamlessly integrate with your team to develop a crisis response plan, resource guides tailored to the crisis at hand, grief and trauma services for management and employees, and support targeted for those impacted most by the trauma.
We act as an extension of your team, quickly and in confidence, to support you and your leadership.
After the unexpected, employees often experience physical and emotional symptoms that will impact their well-being. Even though they may still be able to work, productivity and performance may be affected, and those with a history of grief or trauma may experience additional symptoms or be in need of additional support. If employees are not supported or the crisis is not immediately addressed, staff may feel isolated in their grief, devalued, or experience low morale. Businesses may experience increased use of sick time, higher rates of attrition, and increased stress among management and leadership. This may impact productivity, revenue, stall projects, and increase risk for legal complications.

An unexpected death is a capstone moment for your leadership to demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being. Professional guidance during a crisis will provide optimal healing.
