Helping Employees Through Trauma
The U.S. workplace is filled with opportunities for trauma. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 27 percent of 888,220 nonfatal work injuries in the U.S. in 2019 (the most recent year for which statistics are available) were related to slips and falls. A recent World Health Organization study revealed that depression and anxiety cost the global economy over $1 trillion per year. Workers can, and do, experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from workplace conditions. Overcoming trauma in the workplace begins with awareness of what is needed to keep oneself healthy, happy, and feeling good. It means doing one’s best to recognize depression and find ways to keep one’s body, mind, and spirit healthy. This webinar focuses on how employers can help employees overcome trauma and achieve physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.

Managing your Well-Being as a Manager
The pandemic and post-pandemic era is a very new environment for many people—including managers. The isolation caused by work-at-home has spawned many mental care crises—even for managers. Many people live alone. Many people have small social circles of friends and relatives to serve as a social support network. As a result, many managers must find ways to ensure their own well-being as well as promote and encourage that of their workers. That is the focus of this session. Well-being for managers begins with awareness of the need to recognize what is necessary to keep oneself healthy, happy, and feeling good. It means doing one’s best to recognize depression and find ways to keep one’s body, mind, and spirit healthy and vibrant. This webinar focuses on how to do that.
