3-in-4 US workers experience workplace stress in a month leading to emotional exhaustion, lower productivity and ineffectiveness, while chronic stress can lead to physical and psychological problems, from heart disease to insomnia. So... what can companies do to combat workplace stress? As cited in this Fortune Well article, Jaclyn Wainwright cites the importance of building a sense of community at your workplace to help identify when a colleague is struggling: “People who are suffering from mental health problems, diagnoses, disorders often have an inability to raise their hand and ask for help,” Wainwright said. “They almost require a group of people around them to understand that they are not OK, to recognize that they are struggling. And they certainly can’t have that happen in a vacuum.” https://lnkd.in/einKVX9Q #employeewellness #healthandwellbeing #workplacestress

There ya have it folks... The video you never knew you needed in your life. I know, I know...my approach has you shell shocked! Speaking of which Shellshock, now known as post-traumatic stress disorder, was very common among men who had been to war. Symptoms included fatigue, tremor, confusion, nightmares and impaired sight and hearing. While the nature of one’s job (think trauma-exposed occupations like healthcare, social, and service work) can increase the risk of PTSD, highly underestimated is the threat that various workplace conditions, like abusive leadership styles, power imbalances, microaggressions, and cutthroat environments, pose to such risk. Poor concentration, mood swings, fatigue, and substance use are some of the hallmark signs of PTSD in employees. That said, growing research is beginning to highlight the many overlooked conditions of the workplace that can be traumatic for some workers and even lead to the development of PTSD. Apart from the more overt instances of trauma—from onsite deaths, accidents, injuries, or outbreaks, to exposure to distressing or disturbing situations as a result of the nature of the job (think: social workers, firefighters, journalists)—studies reveal that even toxic work cultures can traumatize workers, from abusive bosses to narcissistic coworkers; heavy workloads and poor work-life boundaries. While people often joke about being “scarred” by past jobs and trade horror stories about their “jobs from hell,” the truth is: emotional workplace trauma is real, and it’s rampant. So much so that some have started to use terms like “CTSD: corporate traumatic stress disorder,” and “business” or “career trauma” to describe the long-term psychological damage that many corporate cultures inflict on their workers, from the ‘cult’ of overwork or glorification of workaholism, to the violation of workers’ right to disconnect, and so much more. What’s important for employers to understand, experts like Asirvatham argue, is that there is no definitive list of triggers for PTSD: it all comes down to an individual’s perceived sense of safety—whether physically or psychologically—and their perceived sense of autonomy or control in maintaining that safety. That said, while one employee may be able to endure a toxic work culture ‘just fine,’ that doesn’t invalidate another’s traumatic response to it Fyi...

Just an opinion here: Good read; explains a lot in what triggers PTSD in the work environment. High turnover, work performance issues, lack of attention to details, and worker absenses? You may want to look within your organization’s leadership for some of the root causes. Leadership needs to be engaged and recognize these issues. Training may be a resource for managers here. The toxic person within a group may have also suffered from bouts with PTSD and this can compound issues of conflict within an otherwise healthy work environment.
