What leaders can do in the event of a critical incident

Usually leaders are the first to be consulted when employees are directly or indirectly involved in a potentially traumatic event such as accidents in the workplace, death, natural disasters or theft.

Assistance provided after a critical incident reduces the impact on the workplace, as well as the personal and work problems of individuals and teams caused by psychological stress.

 
 
How to act

◾ Be empathetic and sensitive about the event and the pain it caused.
◾ Understand that the event has a different impact on each person.
◾ Talk to your employees as soon as possible, especially about safety and health issues.
◾ Provide information and education materials about what happened, what to expect, and how people can take control.
◾ Enhance and support communication among employees and with managers and leaders.
◾ Understand that employees may experience a short-term reduction in focus and productivity.
◾ Educate leaders and managers on the signs of emotional distress and how to provide help and support.
◾ Provide ongoing communication until employees indicate that the need has ceased.
