​How many resources are you devoting to dealing with the phenomenon of collective trauma in the workplace?

Collective trauma in the workplace? 

Wondering how to turn it around and promote the health and well-being of everyone?  How do we take better care of all our employees – especially those at the greatest risk?

The Tip of the Week comes from David Rock. David is co-founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute, a cognitive-science consultancy. In his article 4 leadership trends to watch in 2023  he writes about the need as leaders to make a point to fix the little things that ultimately show how we care more than might be obvious.  He provides the following four trends to help get you started.

Four Trends

• YOUR WORKPLACE IS ON THE HOOK FOR WELL-BEING
• IT’S TIME TO FOCUS ON A NEW KIND OF SAFETY
• DON’T JUST RESPECT DIFFERENCES, DESIGN FOR THEM
• WE’RE ALL STILL IN RECOVERY

Many have heard the term, Great Resignation to the Great Reshuffle. Rock notes that everyone everywhere is still struggling to find quality employees. And yet, when they do finally hire good people, they don’t take enough care of them.

Everyone, everywhere is still struggling to find quality employees. And yet, when they do finally hire good people, they don’t take enough care of them.

He references the October report of the U.S. Surgeon General, who warned that toxic workplaces are harmful to people’s mental and physical health. Leadership will need to take a more proactive approach to employee well-being. 

He also suggests that it’s safe to speak up or even argue with your CEO in a meeting—it is called psychological safety and it’s important for organizations to cultivate.
