A crisis incident is an event that causes strong emotional reactions. This can be events such as violence in the workplace, pandemic, a loss or sudden death, serious injury, or a threat to a person’s well-being. Crisis events can greatly affect an organization by decreased productivity, absenteeism, and low morale. Depending on how an organization responds to a crisis event, it affects not only the organization as a whole but employees as well. It is recommended that debriefing occur 24 to 72 hours after the initial incident to provide greatest support for employees. However, debriefing after this time frame can also be helpful and effective. Distressing situations in the workplace are unavoidable. Group Support and Debriefing can assist your organization by raising awareness of the emotional impact of stressful situations, helping your team work together, teaching helpful coping skills, and facilitating a return to normalcy.
