Creating a Safe and Motivating Trauma-Informed Workplace
When staff feel secure and safe and they're not triggered, they're often more productive, they're often more responsive to the needs of clients, and they often are more likely to stay at your organization instead of being there for six months or a year and then quitting.
What if your workplace could be a haven where everyone feels safe and motivated? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives into the essential elements of a trauma-informed workplace. She shares practical tools and insights to help you create an environment where both staff and clients feel secure and empowered. Dr. Snipes emphasizes the importance of feedback, motivational enhancement techniques, and identifying strengths to foster positive change.
By focusing on these elements, organizations can improve productivity, responsiveness to client needs, and overall staff retention. Whether you're a counselor, coach, or someone looking to improve your workplace dynamics, this episode offers valuable strategies to make your work environment more supportive and effective.
