A crisis is as an unexpected traumatic event that affects the workplace, such as:
- an unanticipated clinical adverse outcome
- a traumatic injury or death of an employee
- a community disaster, such as an earthquake or fire
- an act of threat or violence by an employee or a health plan member
The EAP will immediately respond to managers and staff in response to a workplace crisis. The goal is to assess and debrief with those impacted in hopes of stabilizing the workplace faster and mitigating the effects of traumatic stress.
