Responding to Critical Incident/Crisis Management in the Workplace

When a tragedy such as the coronavirus pandemic strikes at the heart of your organization, you need to quickly deliver a resiliency-building response. National EAP is well positioned to provide services focused specifically on crisis intervention and resolution.

On-site and Virtual Interventions

National EAP can host structured group or individual interventions either virtually or onsite. These are designed to help individuals recover after exposure to a short- or long-term traumatic event, COVID-19 or Non-COVID-19 related, such as a death (e.g., co-worker, family member, friend or patient), separation anxiety due to the need to quarantine from loved ones who are ill (whether or not they are in a medical facility), domestic violence, workplace threat or even an act of terrorism.

Coping Tools for Traumatic Events and Workplace Threats

National EAP’s crisis-trained mental health therapists help employees process their experience and encourage the development of strategies and skills to better cope with the event. Individuals typically respond well to such support, regaining their ability to function productively in the workplace. Those who are at risk for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are aided with additional support as needed. National EAP recommends intervention within 24 to 48 hours after a critical incident occurs, however, ongoing on-site intervention and support is recommended for frontline medical settings and for individuals directly impacted by COVID-19.

Managing a Reduction in Force

The coronavirus pandemic has made reductions-in-force (RIF) more numerous and more challenging than ever before. The suddenness with which companies must react to both large- and small-scale dismissals has not only practical and psychological ramifications, but also legal ones. Thus, executing a reduction-in-force initiative requires an in-depth understanding of how to compassionately but carefully execute an organizational plan using the foundational tenets of emotional intelligence and effective engagement. Your leadership team will need to draw upon the skills they already have, and very likely, new ones they may not presently possess.

Planning with Emotional Intelligence in Mind

Emotional intelligence is not new, but its value is more important than ever. As your team deals with the process of excising staff, they must know how to manage the emotions of others and also their own. Combining these skills with empathy while avoiding potential conversational landmines is at the heart of a successful reduction-in-force plan.

Developing a Compassionate Program and Restoring Productivity

National EAP has the vast experience to guide your organization with a customized program that will help you deal fairly and honestly with employees and relay information unambiguously to those affected, encouraging productive two-way communication. When executed well, an RIF plan can preserve your brand and enhance your organization’s reputation.

Working with your management team, National EAP designs and delivers a comprehensive program that covers the entire RIF cycle, including pre-planning, 1:1 and/or group support and post-RIF services. We advise on the timing and dissemination of information and frequently assist with post-RIF interventions, defusing the uncertainty often felt by remaining staff. This serves to restore productivity and focus and move the organization forward.
