Building Trauma Informed Workplaces with Stephanie Lemek, Founder- The Wounded Workforce

Frequency: 1 episode/21d. Total Eps: 43

Trauma shows up everywhere, including at work.
According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, at least 70% of US Adults self-identify as having one or more traumatic experience in their lifetime. Now add the traumatic experiences of spouses, children, parents, and other loved ones.
With an issue this pervasive, why aren't we talking about the impacts of trauma on the workplace and team culture?
The truth is, many of us don't want to talk about our traumatic experiences at work or may not make connections between past trauma and current challenges. And that's perfectly okay! Organizations don't need either to effectively address trauma in the workplace, what they need is Trauma Informed Workplace Cultures.
My name is Stephanie Lemek. I'm a former HR executive on a mission to help build Trauma Informed Workplace cultures where everyone can be successful. Regardless of past trauma.
