A trauma informed organisation (TIO) proactively creates a psychologically safe environment where employees feel safe to express their thoughts, opinions, and raise issues without fear of retaliation or negative impacts on their position and career path. There is often a gap between leaders’ perception of the psychological safety of the workplace and that of team members.
In 2022, Safe Work Australia found 1:3 people had experienced sexual harassment at work in the past 5 years. Beyond Blue found almost 50% of workers experience workplace bullying. When sexual harassment is prevalent, bullying, intimidation and gender discrimination occur at a higher rate. Australia ranks sixth highest rate of workplace bullying when compared to thirty-four European countries. Many people do not seek assistance with mental health challenges, bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, or other workplace stressors through fear of retribution and detrimental impacts on career prospects. The estimated cost to the economy is between $6 – $36 billion per annum.
It makes moral, ethical, and economic sense for organisations to be proactive in creating a safe work environment. Since December 2023, new legal obligations require workplaces to take proactive measures to prevent sexual harassment at work.
A TIO organisation develops through ongoing engagement and consultation from a top-down and bottom-up approach. It considers principles, culture, policies, procedures, protocols, and training at all levels of the organisation; board members, senior executives and employees at all levels. TIO are guided by six easily understood principles.
This training introduces the 6 pillars of trauma informed organisations and practice. Through information sharing, exercises and discussion, participants will explore how the pillars can be applied to their role and organisation.
Post training, ongoing consultation is available to champion trauma informed principles throughout all structures and systems within your organisation.
