Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Supporting traumatized employees requires special skills and techniques if it is to be effective. Unfortunately, there is little to inform or guide organizations on how this should be achieved. The present controversy over the use of trauma management systems and debriefing has not been helpful in informing organizations on the best way to take care of employees who become traumatized during the course of their work. This paper looks at how Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd managed traumatization through the activation of its Violence at Work policy and procedures, and finally presents the results of an evaluation exercise that was undertaken following the Paddington rail crash.
