Our minds are often busy, cluttered with thoughts and can be easily distracted. Our ability to concentrate, focus and follow through with a project can be jeopardized by our “unfocused mind”. Mindfulness meditation, an ancient practice, aims to cultivate a state of focused attention, create emotional ease and deepen our ability to be present. Effective work habits and productivity are enhanced and the ability to be present, connect and relate with colleagues increases.

Stress impacts every aspect of your health, your relationships, your work performance and your life.

The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted our mental and emotional health and overall sense of dependability, predictability and safety. We have reorganized around a “new normal”, yet not with great ease, trust and acceptance.

Trauma affects every aspect of our lives and every level of an organization. A trauma-informed organization mitigates the adverse effects and protects its members.

Trauma is generally defined as an emotional injury that leaves a lasting effect on our well-being and performance. Trauma is complicated; everyone experiences their trauma differently. However, we naturally look to the organizations we’re a part of and our colleagues for support. A trauma-informed workplace is one that understands how trauma affects individuals, groups, and communities. Trauma-informed policies and practices mitigate those negative effects for a safe, inclusive, and resilient workplace. There will always be another crisis on the horizon. However, a trauma-informed organization will weather the storm and rise above the challenge.
